Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has a new album, but if you want it you’ll have to shell out a whole lot of money.

The rocker revealed on the website for his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion that his new album, Guitarmageddon, is finished, and he’s selling it for a whopping $2 million.

“It’s been a long time in the making,” reads a post on the site. “I am very proud of this very special album.”

Now while the price is high, that’s not just for a CD or vinyl copy of the album. The $2 million price tag is for the master of the recording.

“This includes 10 songs mixed in master, final product format, all the master files of the artwork, related posters, and 10 separate vinyl and CD packaging art for each individual song, should the buyer choose to release the album on a per-song basis,” reads the post, which suggests the buyer can make back the money by releasing the album.

“The buyer can choose to release the entire album in any format they desire…vinyl, CD, or any other configuration, in whole or in part, at their discretion,” the post continues, although any marketing of the album must be approved by Vincent.

The post also says that the purchase price doesn’t include “any right, title, or interest in the copyrights and/or trademarks related to Vinnie Vincent or the product itself.”

And if $2 million is a bit too steep, Vincent is also offering up another option, each song separately at a cost of $200,000 apiece.

Bonnie Raitt is headed to California this fall.

The multi-Grammy winner has just announced a new set of California tour dates that kick off Oct. 7 in Redding. The tour includes an Oct. 14 show at the Theater at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, which will be Raitt’s first show in the San Francisco city limits in several years.

The nine-show tour wraps with a two-night stand at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre on Oct. 20 and 21, marking Raitt’s first shows at the historic Los Angeles venue in almost 30 years.

All shows will feature special guest Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen.

“Jon is one of my favorite musicians and a former longtime bandmate,” Raitt writes on Instagram. “I can’t wait to hear him with his killer band every night and then sit in with us on several songs in our set. Big fun for us all. Come on down!”

A fan presale begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time. A complete list of dates and more ticket information can be found at BonnieRaitt.com.

Before she hits California, Raitt has several spring and summer shows on her schedule. Her next concert is happening May 28 in Spokane, Washington.

EJAE apologizes for not thanking HUNTR/X members in Oscar speech: ‘I love them so much’

The KPop Demon Hunters song “Golden” was named best original song at the Oscars Sunday night, but the bad news about the historic win was that the songwriters were played off before they could finish their speeches. That’s why backstage EJAE was quick to thank her fellow HUNTR/X members, who joined her for the performance of the song on the telecast.

“I needed to thank them onstage,” EJAE told reporters backstage. “I didn’t get to because they just cut us off, but [I] wanted to thank Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna. They killed it with their singing and they’re just incredible people and I love, love them so much.”

“Golden” is the first K-pop song ever to be nominated for an Oscar, and six of the song’s seven cowriters are the first South Koreans to win in the best original song category.

“This is crazy. We all worked so, so hard and it was such a collaborative effort,” EJAE said of the win, noting that she considers the film’s now Oscar-winning directors, Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, to have been part of that effort.

“We’re all just so, so happy that the hard work paid off,” she added.

You can find hints of that collaborative spirit in the lyrics of “Golden,” said co-writer Mark Sonnenblick.

“It’s not ‘I’m going up up up,’ it’s ‘we’re going up, up, up,'” he noted, adding that he felt the “fans who have loved this movie” are also part of that “deep collaboration,” along with “everyone else who sang on the soundtrack.”

“A movie is like a village. … [T]here’s so many people who have made this what it is. So thank you everyone.”

Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters 2 has been confirmed, but there’s no scheduled release date.

Fetty Wap is ready for fans to hear what he’s been working on. He’s set to release new music via his studio album, Zavier, arriving on March 27.

“When you lose the money everybody think that’s the worst part,” Fetty said in a video trailer announcing the news. “When you lose them shows and calls stop coming through, the room start to get smaller, the noise fade away, and when it get real quiet that’s when it hit different.”

“You see, I got so used to hearing Fetty everywhere I go, before I even knew who Zavier was,” he continued. “Somewhere in all that, I became a character in my own life. People really loved what I could provide for real, not who I really was.”

“Then the chains come on, stage disappear, the applause stop, Fetty start sounding real different when it ain’t attached to nothing. No money, no lights, no attention, it’s just you,” Fetty went on. “Gotta ask yourself, do you even know who that is anymore?”

“Cuz when they take everything away, all you got left is a person your mama named you,” he said. “People call me Fetty. But the people who know me call me Zavier.”

Zavier is comprised of 18 tracks, according to Apple Music. It comes months after Fetty, born Willie Junior Maxwell II, was released early from prison in January after serving time for conspiracy to distribute drugs.

While Fetty represents the younger version of him, Zavier is his older alter ego who is no longer trying to rush through life, he explained in a recent episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.
