Well, what I'm saying is that maybe the label is just prudent. Don't count your chicken until they're hatched, and don't announce the drummer until he's actually in the studio. First of all there could be something getting in the way in-between and then DT would look stupid, and secondly if you announce the drummer, people will want to see footage. If they're still in the "solo-writing" phase it would be weird to have them say "yeah, he's our new drummer, but he's sitting at home right now".
