Dr Dre Delays ‘Detox’ Album

Album not expected until 2010 at the earliest

Dr Dre has delayed the release of his long-anticipated new album Detox yet again due to a lack of "motivation".

The album was originally intended to be released in 2004 but has been delayed several times.

A release date was pencilled in for this year, but Dre told ABC News that it had been postponed again, saying: "Hopefully, I’ll get it done at the end of this year, and we can hear it next year."

Dre now hasn’t released a solo album for 10 years, since his 1999 effort 2001.
