The Dead Daisies have announced Kelly Hansen as their new lead vocalist and released a new single titled “Lift Me Up.”
Hansen, known for his work with Foreigner and Hurricane, joins a lineup featuring Doug Aldrich, David Lowy, Tommy Clufetos and Jimi Crutchley. “Lift Me Up” marks the first Dead Daisies recording to feature Hansen on vocals and serves as the first taste of the band’s upcoming album.
The group plans to spend the remainder of 2026 in the studio completing the record before returning to the road next year.
The Dead Daisies have also revealed an extensive batch of 2027 tour dates. The touring schedule begins with a European and UK run in March featuring special guests The Quireboys and The Gems.
The band will then head to the U.S. for shows in April and May with BulletBoys and The Fell, the latter featuring Billy Sheehan. A Scandinavian run is scheduled for September, with venues for those dates still to be announced. Additional shows are also expected.
