KFIX Rock News: Bob Seger Planning New To Release Album And Launch New Tour in 2016

Bob Seger may have turned 70 this past May but he apparently isn’t quite ready for retirement.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recently toldBillboard that he’s planning to put out a new album next year called I Knew You When, a collection of updated versions of previously unreleased tunes.

The record also will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the start of Seger’s music career.

To support the album and mark the milestone, the Michigan rocker revealed that he intends to hit the road for what he describes as a “bucket-list tour,” during which he will perform at venues and events he always has wanted to play. Among these are the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Hollywood Bowl.

I Knew You When will be a follow-up to Seger’s 2014 studio effort, Ride Out, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
