Vocalist Sebastian Bach has checked in with the following update:

"We are pleased to welcome guitarist Jeff Kollman to the band! I first saw Jeff play with Chad Smiths' Bombastic Meat Bats at the Baked Potato in Studio City California a couple weeks ago. He plays in the Meat Bats along with my bass player Kevin Chown, who is also joining us tonight in Kansas City with Bobby Jarzombek on the drums. Jeff Kollman has played with Tony MacAlpine, Asia, to name a few. He's a shredder of the highest order and we are psyched to rock with him!"

A post on Kollman's Facebook page lists Bach's tour schedule.

In Episode #272 episode of the Iron City Rocks Podcast, Sebastian Bach talks with about his current 18 And Live tour, about how he selects a producer, his plans for his next record, how he keeps his voice strong and how he stays in shape and readies himself for his high-energy live shows.  

Listen below:

Iron City Rocks

On June 10th, Sebastian Bach performed in Seattle, WA and stopped the show mid-set after a poorly misguided (read: idiotic) fan got on stage, removed the band's setlist from Bach's monitor, and was thrown back into the audience by security. The incident was captured in the fan-filmed clip, found below, which was followed by Bach calling out the fan for his actions and expressing concern for a girl who was injured in the chaos.

Bach has added a string of live dates in Australia and New Zealand this September as part of his 18 And Live World Tour 2015. HIs schedule is as follows:

18 - Christchurch, New Zealand - Bedford
19 - Auckland, New Zealand - The Studio
22 - Brisbane, Australia - Tivoli Theatre
23 - Sydney, Australia - Metro Theatre
25 - Melbourne, Australia - Forum Theatre
26 - Adelaide, Australia - The Gov
27 - Perth, Australia - Astor Theatre

Tickets are available at this location.

Harper Collins has announced a January 19th, 2016 release date for 18 And Life On Skid Row, the autobiography of former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach.

Last month a description of the 288-page book was posted online, which Bach was quick to dismiss as unofficial; complete details can be found here. It's since been replaced by the following authorized blurb:

18 And Life on Skid Row tells the story of a boy who spent his childhood moving from Freeport, Bahamas to California and finally to Canada and who at the age of eight discovered the gift that would change his life. Throughout his career, Sebastian Bach has sold over 20 million records both as the lead singer of Skid Row and as a solo artist. He is particularly known for the hit singles I Remember You, Youth Gone Wild, & 18 & Life, and the albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind, which became the first ever hard rock album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Bach then went on to become the first rock star to grace the Broadway stage, with starring roles in Jekyll & Hyde, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared for seven seasons on the hit television show The Gilmore Girls.

In his memoir, Bach recounts lurid tales of excess and debauchery as he toured the world with Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Soundgarden, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses. Filled with backstage photos from his own personal collection, 18 And Life on Skid Row is the story of hitting it big at a young age, and of a band that broke up in its prime. It is the story of a man who achieved his wildest dreams, only to lose his family, and then his home. It is a story of perseverance, of wine, women and song and a man who has made his life on the road and always will. 18 And Life On Skid Row is not your ordinary rock memoir, because Sebastian Bach is not your ordinary rock star.
