William Shatner, 95, Is Releasing a Heavy Metal Album He Named After Not Knowing What Heavy Metal Was

William Shatner, 95, told Page Six at Thursday's New York premiere of 'The Sixty-Year Mission: How Star Trek Changed Television and the World' that he is releasing a heavy metal album titled after his own reaction to the genre — he initially asked what heavy metal even was. He debuted his band, The *uckers, at Riot Fest 2026 in Chicago in September, with tour dates planned for Australia and Florida. Shatner has released music since 1968's 'The Transformed Man', including 2004's 'Has Been' with Ben Folds and 2024's 'So Fragile, So Blue'.
