Jason Price of LIve-Metal.net recently spoke with guitarist/frontwoman LITA FORD to discuss her musical roots, her upcoming album, tour plans for 2009 and her recent work for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Some excerpts from the interview:

On Supporting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month:

Live-Metal.Net: You recently performed at the 'Rock For The Cure' charity event for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. How did you first get involved with this great cause and what was that performance like for you?

Lita Ford: "My mother passed away in 1990 from breast cancer. I feel like I have an obligation to do something, anything I can to help find a cure. The show was magic. There were 2 little girls there that brought in over $2000!!! They were incredible - they had a lemon aid stand and a garage sale... Incredible young ladies!"

On her new album and tour plans for 2009:

Live-Metal.Net: Is there a tentative title or release date for the album at the moment?

Lita Ford: "Title - yes but it’s a secret! Release date? Sometime around the summer. Can’t wait!"

Live-Metal.Net: Is it safe to say that we will see you hit the road in support of the album when it is released?

Lita Ford: "Yes - we plan on playing at least 75 shows in 2009!"

On a potential reunion of The Runaways:

Live-Metal.Net: I think many fans definitely would like to know if the door is still open for a Runaways reunion. Is that something that we may see materialize at some point?

Lita Ford: "Sorry but uh - No!"
