3 Doors Down Talk New Album And Touring

(RTTNews) - Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down has opened up about their grueling tour schedule, complaining that it's the only way for a band to make a living anymore.

When it comes to making money on the road, Henderson told espyrock.com:
"It's the only way, the only f*****g way; downloading has killed it. We make a little money on publishing and like sponsorships and merchandise if people buy our t-shirts but touring, on the f*****g road, playing shows, that's how you f*****g do it like it or not. We love touring and we do a lot of f*****g shows and we're here now and the record was supposed to be out."
Time Of My Life hit stores on July 18 and when asked why they held off on releasing the finished album, Henderson had two words — Foo Fighters. He added that they hoped to avoid as much competition as possible by holding back the release.
3 Doors Down will hit the road in the U.K. in 2012 with Seether in support of the new album.
