Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley released the title track from his upcoming solo album, 10,000 Volts on Tuesday (November 28).

Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley recently released the title track from his upcoming solo album, 10,000 Volts.

"10,000 Volts," which sees Ace taking over the instrumental break in the otherwise pop-centric tune, arrived with an accompanying music video directed by Alex Kouvatsos.

Frehley also announced that the new album, which he co-produced with Steve Brown of Trixter, will arrive on February 23, 2024, via MNRK Music Group.

Frehley said in a recent interview that his latest album would make his former KISS bandmate Paul Stanley "look like an imbecile," adding further barbs to the their tempestuous relationship.

"Working with Steve has made a huge difference in my playing and writing because when he and I put our heads together, it just clicks," Frehley told Nuvo about working with Brown. "If I'm at a loss for a chord or a verse or a line, he comes up with it and vice versa, and within three or four hours, we write a song."

Foreigner founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones said he is very much looking forward to the band being back on the road with their old friends, Styx.

"Our 'Soundtrack Of Summer' tour ten years ago was a blockbuster, and our tour album was a Billboard chart success," Jones said. "It'll be a great time had by all. As an added bonus, John Waite will accompany us on the journey, adding his #1 hits to a special night of classic rock."

Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, who announced his retirement from touring earlier this year, revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone UK that he still hopes to perform live again, even as he takes it "one day at a time" due to his ongoing health struggles.

Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, who announced his retirement from touring earlier this year, revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone UK that he still hopes to perform live again, even as he takes it "one day at a time" due to his ongoing health struggles.

"It's really knocked me about," Osbourne said about a tumor discovered in one of his vertebrae during a fourth spinal surgery. "The second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled. I thought I'd be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a f-ing rod in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too. It's pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f-ed up."

"I'm taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will," he added. "I'm not going to get up there and do a half-hearted Ozzy looking for sympathy. What's the f-ing point in that? I'm not going up there in a f-ing wheelchair. I've seen Phil Collins perform recently, and he's got virtually the same problems as me. He gets up there in a wheelchair! But I couldn't do that."

Ozzy said that a final performance would give him a chance to say goodbye and express his gratitude to fans.

"For whatever reason, that's my goal to work to. To do those shows. If it's at Ozzfest or somewhere, or even a f-ing gig at the Roundhouse," he says. "If I can't continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, 'Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.' That's what I'm working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I'll die a happy man."
