Legendary female metal icon LITA FORD has confirmed the release date for her new album, Living Like A Runaway. The album will be released June 19th in North America via SPV/Steamhammer.

Living Like A Runaway will be available in four configurations: a double LP, limited edition CD, standard CD and digital download.

Lita gave an update on Living Like A Runaway: "This CD is truly a dream come true. It took me one year to write this CD along with producer Gary Hoey and song writing partner Michael Dan Ehming. We have dumped out hearts and souls into this amazing CD. Along with a lot of tears, pain, heartache, laughter, ripping out hair, going hungry, losing sleep and a lot of frequent flyer miles. :) !!!

Living Like a Runaway, is like being able to walk through fire and coming out the other side unscathed."

Coinciding with the album's release, Lita is hitting the road this summer with DEF LEPPARD and POISON on the Rock Of Ages Tour. The dates for the first leg of the tour have been announced and are listed below. More dates are expected to be announced soon.

Lita is looking forward to the tour and getting to play the new songs live: "We are honored with this awesome tour and being able to play with these brilliant musicians. So strap in tight, it's going to be one powerful journey."

Best known for her work with THE RUNAWAYS and her solo career, featuring hit singles 'Kiss Me Deadly' and the Billboard charting duet 'Close My Eyes Forever' with OZZY OSBOURNE, Lita is ready to make a return to the throne as the queen of metal.
