According to blabbermouth.net, John 5 has announced new North American solo tour that is set to kick off in September. The trek kicks off on September 1 in Boston before the artist visits the cities Montreal, Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, Novato and more. Tickets to select concerts go on sale June 14 at 10 a.m local time for the U.S. shows and June 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
In light of the upcoming tour, John 5 has released the single, “A Hollywood Story,” along with an accompanying video showcasing the artist’s journey from aspiring young musician to his current gig as member of Mötley Crüe. The new single is an instrumental track, with the music video showing a photo montage of John 5 through the years, including as a child, his time in Rob Zombie’s band and his new stint in Mötley Crüe, among other career highlights.
While talking about his latest song, John 5 says: “‘A Hollywood Story’ is a look back on my career and how lucky I am to have had the experiences that I’ve had. When you’re a little kid, in your room, dreaming of your future, I never could’ve dreamt of what has happened to me in real life. I’m so appreciative and so happy. So go after your dreams whatever they may be.”
John 5’s solo dates are in addition to his shows with Mötley Crüe, who have gigs scheduled throughout the summer, as well as festival appearances set for Louder Than Life and Aftershock in the fall.
