Hard rock juggernaut The Dead Daisies have officially charted a bold course for 2027, ushering in a thrilling new chapter with the addition of legendary former Foreigner frontman Kelly Hansen on lead vocals. Signalling a restart for the band, the rock collective has confirmed the upcoming release of a brand-new single alongside extensive global touring plans.

Fronted by exceptional lead vocalist Kelly Hansen (Foreigner/Hurricane), the lineup features stellar guitar work from Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake/Dio) alongside driving rhythm from guitarist David Lowy (MINK/Red Phoenix). Rounding out the powerhouse rhythm section are heavy-hitting drummer Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne) and dynamic bassist Jimi Crutchley (The Quireboys).

“When I left Foreigner after 20 great years, I told everybody I wasn‘t “retiring” just moving on to other things. This project gives me the opportunity to stretch out with some new melodies, a new vibe and fresh energy. We‘re gonna rock it!” – Kelly Hansen

With the band in the studio working on new music, ’Lift Me Up‘ is the first track to materialise as a preview of what lies ahead….

“’Lift Me Up‘ started off as a dead simple guitar riff and heavy groove….as the song progressed the melody just grew from there. It‘s very melodic and the lyric reflects positively and a vibe to lift us up in these crazy times. We‘re working on more cool music for the album right now and I‘m excited about where it‘s heading. It‘s also gonna be amazing to be onstage with Kelly again after all these years! His vocal range is exceptional and he‘s a badass frontman. Can‘t wait to get out there and see you all in 2027!!” – Doug Aldrich

The Dead Daisies will spend the remainder of the year in the recording studio and hit the road for an extensive global tour in 2027. While their confirmed spring leg runs through Europe and the United Kingdom from March 4 to March 21, the band has also announced an upcoming USA tour leg for 2027. Audiences can expect an explosive live set bringing the band’s new tracks and classic fan favourites to stages worldwide.

“We‘re fired up about the direction The Daisies is taking. Kelly has slotted in and it just feels right. We‘ve got a killer record taking shape and looking forward to a big year of touring ahead. Bring on 2027!” – David Lowy
