W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless 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 autobiography, which he describes as distinct from typical rock memoirs. Lawless has reflected on past conflicts with former guitarist Chris Holmes, who is currently battling prostate cancer and has voiced concerns over political division in the United States. Meanwhile, the band continues developing new material, and Holmes is involved in the supergroup T3RMINAL, which has already recorded 18 songs.
