Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones has insisted that the band is proud to be releasing a greatest hits album.
The Welsh group's 'Best Of' collection A Decade In The Sun hit shelves on Monday, while the rockers are also promoting the release of their new single 'You're My Star'.
"There's a lot of stigma attached to greatest hits albums, but for us it's a celebration of our music in the last 10 years," Jones told the Daily Record. "There are two new tracks on it - 'My Own Worst Enemy' and 'You're My Star'.
"We finished the last album a year ago and we've been touring for 18 months, and then we plan to go back into the studio in March."
Asked about the band's forthcoming UK tour, Jones added: "We've got a striptease, fireworks and waterfalls. It's all happening. We haven't done any rehearsals yet, but it's the first time we will be playing 25 singles back to back. We've never even played that.
"If you've been following the band for the last 10 years, then great. And if you only know a few songs, it'll work, too."
