Dogstar — in which the John Wick star plays bass guitar — wrote on Instagram: "Thank you everyone for the kind comments. We are overjoyed to see such a response.

"Honestly, didn’t expect this. It makes us want to play out even more.

"We will be rolling out some new music this summer, followed by some gigs. As soon as it’s all figured out we will let everyone know immediately.

"So much to do, but rest assured, we are on it and have assembled a fantastic team that are helping us.

"We are also going to make a music video to support our first tune. That’s all I can say now. Can’t wait to share our new music with everyone.

"It’s the most satisfying and meaningful batch of songs we’ve ever done. Thanks again for being so patient with us. We truly have the best, most loyal fans!"

Dogstar returned to the live stage late last year with a private show "for the incredible people who made our new album possible". Since then, they've been sharing behind-the-scenes photos and video updates of their time in the studio.
