Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, etc.) has officially released his new solo album ‘HOLLOW’, and the twelve-track effort features a stacked collection of guest appearances, including Marilyn Manson and Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray.
Manson contributes vocals to “The Tailor”, while Gray appears on “Devil In Your Eyes”. The album also features appearances from members of Guns N’ Roses, Godsmack, Extreme and more.
Morrison recently discussed his collaboration with Manson during an appearance on SiriusXM’s ‘Trunk Nation’, explaining that the two reconnected around Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral before eventually working together on the new track.
Speaking about his relationship with Manson and how the collaboration came together, Morrison said:
“I would not be able to make these records or hang out or even talk to you if I was loaded. You wouldn’t want that. I’m an idiot when I’m using, like most of us. Manson is a joy to be around. He’s a lovely man. I reconnected really seriously at Ozzy’s funeral. I had to do one of the eulogies in England at the house and I haven’t been in that kind of state in a long while.
I was really emotional and he helped me. He helped me a lot. Unconditional love. He just, you know, he put his arm around me and he said a few things and that meant the world, and then you know, we got back to America and I said, ‘Listen, I’ve got this track and there’s only one person that can sing it and it’s you,’ and he loved it and we did it.”
‘HOLLOW’ is available now, with Morrison’s collaborations with Manson and Gray among the latest tracks from the record to emerge.
