Out February 13th Via Golden Robot Records

Golden Robot Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of ‘My Guitar’, a powerful and deeply personal single from the late John Sykes, available on all major streaming platforms on February 13. 

‘My Guitar’ was recorded and updated during the sessions John worked on after signing with Golden Robot Records and forms part of the creative body of work he was actively developing at the time that he presented to the label. The track captures the unmistakable spirit, tone, and fire that defined Sykes as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation – raw, melodic, and emotionally charged.

In light of recent speculation surrounding this release, Golden Robot Records wishes to assure fans that this music is being released with the utmost respect, care, and affection for John. The release of ‘My Guitar’ is fully permitted under John’s recording agreement, and reflects the shared intention, held while he was with us, to complete and present this material properly. This is not a retrospective reconstruction, but a continuation of work that John himself began with us. 

Serving as the first glimpse into a four-track EP, ‘My Guitar’ offers fans an intimate connection to John’s creative voice in its purest form. The EP, worked on during his time with Golden Robot Records, will be respectfully released later in 2026, with a clear focus on preserving the integrity of his original vision and honoring his legacy.

Best known for his iconic work with Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Blue Murder, and his celebrated solo career, John Sykes left an indelible mark on hard rock and heavy music worldwide. ‘My Guitar’ stands as both a tribute and a testament – an artist speaking directly through his instrument one final time. 

For Golden Robot Records, this release is about honoring John, completing what we started together, and sharing his music with the fans who loved him. It is wrapped in respect, gratitude, and deep admiration for an extraordinary musician. 

‘My Guitar’ is available to pre-save now, with the single arriving February 13 on all major streaming platforms via Golden Robot Records. 
 
For fans old and new, this is more than a song – it is a moment, a memory, and a final salute to a true guitar legend.
