Teddy co-wrote and performs on “Shine A Light,” Adams’ latest single that is the title track from his 14th studio album that is set for release by Polydor (UMC) on March 1.


 “I met Ed in Dublin this year at one of his shows and we kept in touch,” Adams explains. “One day I sent him a chorus I had for a song idea I had called ‘Shine A Light’ and asked him if he was interested in collaborating on it. I got a couple of verses back a few days later, and man you should hear him sing it!”

Shine a Light's 12 tracks include a duet with Jennifer Lopez called "That's How Strong Our Love Is."

The knighted Canadian “Summer of ‘69” singer hits the road Jan. 22 on a national nine date sold-out Canadian ‘Shine A Light’ tour that runs through February 1, and starting Jan. 30 on CTV, Adams will guest on the new six-episode second season of The Launch.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
