Gibson Band Releases Charity Single 'I Can Breathe'

Gibson CEO Cesar Gueikian has released a new charity single titled "I Can Breathe," featuring Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan. The track, which aims to raise funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), showcases Gueikian on rhythm guitar and piano, McKagan on lead vocals and lyrics, and Slash on lead guitar. All proceeds from the single will benefit NAMI, with additional auctions for a painting by Serj Tankian and a signed Les Paul guitar also contributing to the cause. The song, originally 12 minutes long, has been edited down to just under six minutes. McKagan expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying the project pushed him in a new direction, while Slash praised Gueikian's musical vision. This release follows Gueikian's previous collaboration with other rock legends, reinforcing his commitment to using music for charitable efforts.
