Interesting Article on Christopher Lee From Knac.Com. Proves you can rock at any age.

[mloanna]

Acting veteran Christopher Lee has launched a music career at the age of 84 - releasing a CD of songs including a heavy metal track. The Lord Of The Rings star is convinced he is the oldest rocker to record an album.

He says of Revelation, "I really believe that when people hear this CD they will say, 'Yes he really can sing.' And it is a unique recording. As far as I know no other man of my age has sung on an album."

And Lee believes it will be a hit with young and old fans: "This has to be something that people can connect with. You see the young will connect with the metal version of 'The Toreador March', even though it is sung in French. I'm not singing in heavy metal, but it is still heavy metal."

But Lee has no plans to take his music on tour - insisting, "Not at my age. I don't think I could go through that. I couldn't possibly get up and sing these songs in a live show - my voice would probably be affected."

Some time ago, Lee performed on stage at a European metal festival with two bands, Manowar and rhapsody. Read aboit it from the KNAC.COM news archives here.

that is just too cool.

I loved his voice on the recordings he did with Rhapsody. I look forward to hearing his own album. *thumbs up*

Christopher Lee has such a cool voice in movies, and fit quite well as Saruman with his 'magical' voice. I think I will buy this album to see what he does, especially since he's been exposed to Manowar and Rhapsody.

The guy looks damn good for 84. But then again. LOTR was actually filmed like 10 years ago, so he was a spring-chicken at a then 74 years of age.

Well we know he can sing from Rhapsody and his role in The Wicker Man. I bet its pretty good.

I was about to say, I didn't realize he was 84. He's doing damnnnnned well for himself
