Chris Jericho, the frontman for Fozzy, has performed a cover of The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ while dressed as rock icon David Bowie. The performance took place while on Jericho Cruise 2024, a professional wrestling event promoted by All Elite Wrestling and Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea, on the Norwegian Pearl Cruise Ship. Fozzy and a Bowie-dressed Jericho performed a rendition of The Weeknd’s hit song as well as Soft Cells’ 1981 hit ‘Tainted Love’.
When asked how he manages his multiple roles in the entertainment industry, including being a singer, wrestler, and actor, Jericho explained that timing is everything. With AEW only requiring work once a week, it gives him more time to focus on Fozzy tours and acting. Jericho explained that he was unable to take on many acting roles in the 2000s and 2010s because he was actively working with WWE at the time.
Fozzy, formed in 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, recently announced that they will be kicking off a UK tour later this month. The band, consisting of Jericho, Billy Grey, Rich Ward, P.J. Farley, and Grant Brooks, has released eight studio LPs and one live album. Fozzy’s first two albums mainly consist of cover songs with some original material, while their most recent albums place emphasis on original content.
Jericho previously described Fozzy’s sound as “If Metallica and Black Sabbath had a bastard child, it would be Fozzy.” For fans of the band, Fozzy’s UK tour dates are listed below, and tickets and VIP packages can be purchased at the provided link.
