Weezer have released a new single, Hero.
The arena-sized rock track is an anthem for outcasts with a chorus that begs to be screamed back at the band. It's the latest cut to be shared from their new album, 'Van Weezer', which was due out on May 15, but has been postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.A new date will be announced soon.
In a statement accompanying the video for Hero, the band said:
"With the good news, comes the bad: unfortunately we're going to have to delay the release of Van Weezer. As you know, Corona has put a crimp in many well-laid plans. Van Weezer has been no exception. And because we don't want to give another release date until we're absolutely sure of it, we'll just say "stay tuned for more info.
"In the meantime, we’re working hard on getting you all the new Weezer you can handle including music and more surprises getting announced later this week ;)"
The band were due to team up with Green Day and Fall Out Boy for the UK and European leg of the Hella Mega Tour this summer, but this has also been put on hold due to COVID-19. The tour is currently still due to travel across North America later this summer, as well as Australia and New Zealand later in the year.
