While fans mourned the passing of Chuck Berry this weekend, many of them wondered what would happen to the planned release of his first album of new music in 40 years. Berry’s estate has put those worries to ease.

According to a statement released by the estate following his death, the new LP, Chuck, is still expected to be released. Berry’s surviving family issued the release and reassurance after citing  “many inquiries” they’ve fielded from fans and media. New music from the album should even be released this week, along with more information on the album.

“Working to prepare the release of this record in recent months and in fact over the last several years brought Chuck a great sense of joy and satisfaction,” reads the statement. “While our hearts are very heavy at this time, we know that Chuck had no greater wish than to see this album released to the world, and we know of no better way to celebrate and remember his 90 years of life than through his music.”

According to the Berry estate, the promotional campaign planned by his label, Dualtone Records, called for the release of “further details and music from the album this week” — a plan that remains in place even after Berry’s passing: “As a tribute to Chuck Berry, and with gratitude to his fans around the world, we will be following through on those plans in the coming days.”
