FOZZY is set to resume their 25th Anniversary Tour next April. In a new interview on Matt Pinfield’s “New & Approved” show on 95.5 KLOS, singer Chris Jericho reflected on the first leg of the tour and how the band continues to grow two-and-a-half decades in.
“For the band to kind of be growing like we have — I mean, ‘Judas’ has gone gold; it’s on the way to platinum, almost there, probably about 90 percent of the way there,” Jericho said. “In this day and age, to have an almost platinum record is a pretty cool statement and a pretty cool, monumental accomplishment. So we’re really proud of that. And getting a chance to play at Wembley a couple of times, and the shows that we’ve done in the U.K. are getting bigger and bigger, and in the States too. So it’s been really cool to see kind of how the band has continued to succeed and, after all this time, still kind of on an upward swing. So it’s a really cool time to be involved with FOZZY as well.”
Jericho previously talked about how FOZZY will likely release music one single at a time going forward instead of full albums. He reiterated this point with Pinfield, and also revealed that a new FOZZY single is likely coming with the second leg of the tour.
“We’re gonna continue the 25th-anniversary tour in April, back in the States again,” Jericho said. “I think we’re actually coming through L.A, I believe. We haven’t announced that yet. But, yeah, we’re gonna be doing this for the next year and change. And the thing is, too, we’re working on a few new songs. And I think that’s gonna be our business model from now on as well — just release a song at a time. I think the days of the full-length album might be done for us at least, ’cause there’s too many great songs that we didn’t get a chance to really promote or focus on. ‘Boombox’ had 12 songs on it. All of them were great. Four of them went to Top 10, another three get played live, and the other five just kind of get lost in the ether. And I don’t want to lose these songs in the ether anymore. So I think we’re working on another song that we’ll probably put out in April around that tour. And then we’ll just continue going from there.”
