John 5 Announces New Album "Ghost" & Fall Tour With Richie Kotzen

John 5 (Mötley Crüe, ex-Rob Zombie, etc.) and Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs, ex-Mr. Big, etc.) will be mounting a co-headlining tour together this fall. That U.S. trek will find John 5 out supporting his newly announced album, “Ghost“, which he will have out on October 10th. A new single titled “Fiend” will arrive from that Barry Pointer-produced outing this Friday, May 16th, complete with a guest spot from acclaimed drummer Kenny Aronoff. For now, a teaser for its music video has been shared below.

As for this new tour, John 5 offered:

“I’ve got a brand-new show and a whole bunch of songs we haven’t played in a long time plus all your favorites. I’m super excited! I love touring with other great guitarists like Richie Kotzen! It’s gonna be a Noodle-Palooza.”

Kotzen added:

“I am very much looking forward to this USA tour, but what makes this even more exciting than last year‘s run of dates is that I’ll be out this time with my good friend John 5! I think this is going to be a great night not only for guitar fanatics but for general music lovers as well. I can’t wait to hit the stage this fall!”

A fan pre-sale begins today, May 14th at 12:00pm local time. The general onsale will launch this Friday, May 16th.
