During an April 15 appearance on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Y&T frontman Dave Meniketti discussed the possibility of new music from the band.
When asked about a follow-up to their latest album, Facemelter, released in 2010, Meniketti stated that while there are no concrete plans for new material, it is a possibility.
However, he emphasized that the band members' lives and priorities have changed significantly since the release of Facemelter.
Meniketti and his wife Jill recently relocated to Italy, where they purchased a medieval hill town home in Gubbio, which Meniketti previously identified as his ancestral homeland.
Despite initial plans to keep their new address private, word quickly got out among fans and acquaintances, leading to some humorous interactions with well-wishers.
Meniketti also touched on the current state of album releases, stating that this format no longer guarantees a band airplay or touring opportunities.
When asked if die-hard fans would still appreciate new music from Y&T, Meniketti pragmatically replied that it may not necessarily sell more tickets or generate revenue for the band.
Meniketti's conversation with Eddie Trunk covered various aspects of his life and career, including his recent cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The frontman acknowledged being in complete remission after receiving radiation and expressed optimism regarding his prognosis.
This comes after Y&T was forced to cancel their previously scheduled European tour last July due to Meniketti's health issues.
Meniketti went on to discuss prostate cancer, emphasizing its high survival rate if caught early enough.
Despite the fact that he is the only surviving member of Y&T's original lineup, Meniketti remains optimistic about the band's future and his own personal prospects.
