Flea and John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Helmet, Idles, Gary Numan, the Dandy Warhols, Warpaint, Killing Joke and more join Tom Morello and Serj Tankian on the 20-song double album The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration of Andy Gill and Gang of Four. The tribute set, which arrives May 14, was conceptualized by Andy Gill before his untimely death in February 2020. The first single, "Natural’s Not in It" by Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and Tankian (System Of A Down) released on Jan. 8. The Problem of Leisure features artists from seven different countries and four continents paying homage, with artwork from Damien Hirst. The album is available to pre-order now in a variety of double vinyl and two CD formats; all formats feature different versions of the Hirst artwork. Gill's widow, Catherine Mayer, assembled a small team to expand and complete the album after her husband's death. "There was never any doubt in my mind that I should finish what Andy had started,” Mayer said in a statement. “He took so much pleasure from hearing from artists which track they had chosen and why. He was delighted by the tracks he lived long enough to hear." Tracklistings are below. The Problem of Leisure: CD One Vinyl One, Side A 1. IDLES - Damaged Goods (UK) 2.
