Additionally on September 24, in what will be their only worldwide appearance, the band will head to Brazil for “Rock in Rio”. Tickets for the events will go on sale this Friday, August 14, at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketfly.com. Set to drop on September 11th, the self-titled album will feature mostly covers of songs by members of the original Hollywood vampires, Cooper’s rock star drinking crew from the 70s, plus original tracks “Raise the Dead”, “Dead Drunk Friends”, and “The Last Vampire”. “I would walk in on a typical night and JOHN LENNON, HARRY NILSSON, KEITH MOON – who would usually be in a costume dressed like a maid or a chauffeur – BERNIE TAUPIN, JIM MORRISON, MICKEY DOLENZ or JIMI HENDRIX would all be there”. Prior to the show, the band will pair with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to provide more than 150 hearing-impaired people with hearing aids, then bring a number of those people to the show so they can hear music for the first time in their lives.
