Blackie Lawless, frontman of W.A.S.P., is preparing for a 2026 North American tour with KK's Priest, featuring the live debut of the new song 'Mr. Cool,' while also advancing work on his upcoming autobiography, which he describes as distinct from typical rock memoirs. He has reflected on past band dynamics, including his split with Chris Holmes, and commented on the PMRC controversy, framing it as politically motivated rather than purely about censorship. Lawless also confirmed that W.A.S.P. has been developing new music for approximately three years and expressed support for Holmes during his prostate cancer recovery.
