LITA FORD To Play Shows This Summer With GNR Guitarist “Bumblefoot”

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal will be doing shows over the summer with Lita Ford, playing guitar with her backing group alongside Bumblefoot drummer Dennis Leeflang. “Lita and I have GN’R’s blessings to do this together; all is cool,” says Thal. “This won’t interfere with upcoming GN’R plans, I’ll be flying out and coming right back.” Ford will release “Wicked Wonderland”, her first new U.S. studio album in 14 years, this fall on her own JLRG Entertainment label. Ford is backed on the record by drummer Stet Howland (W.A.S.P.), Greg Hampton on bass, rhythm guitar and keyboards, and former Nitro singer Jim Gillette on background vocals.
