In a bid to get Axl Rose to release his long-awaited album Chinese Democracy, Dr. Pepper had promised everyone in the US – excluding former guitarists Slash and Buckethead – a free can of their fizzy drink if it hits the shelves this year.

With a US release date now confirmed of November 23 (UK release looking likely on November 24), Dr. Pepper have announced that they will go ahead with their promise!

“We never thought this day would come,” says Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper. “But now that it’s here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”

Americans are now able to get a free Dr. Pepper coupon.
