BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Drinks firm to keep Roses pledge: "A US manufacturer which promised a free soft drink to all Americans if Guns N' Roses released a new album in 2008 has said it will honour its pledge.

Dr Pepper made the offer after several release dates for the rock band's long-awaited album passed.

'We never thought this day would come. Now it's here, all we can say is the Dr Pepper's on us,' said a spokesman.

The drinks will be made available via a voucher system. Chinese Democracy is due to be released next month."
