Lita Ford’s trailblazing career began in 1976 as the lead guitarist of the groundbreaking all-girl punk rock band, The Runaways, whose hard rock/punk edge spawned cult classics like “Cherry Bomb”, “Wasted” and “Queens of Noise”. Additionally, the band contributed a great Slade cover to the annals of rock with their rendition of “Mama We’re All Crazy Now”.

After The Runaways broke up in 1979, Lita had to reinvent herself. She launched her solo career in 1983 with Out for Blood, establishing herself as the premier female force in hard rock and heavy metal. Her follow-up album, Dancin’ on the Edge (1984), earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and produced her hit, “Gotta Let Go.” By 1988, she had become a household name upon the release of her multi-platinum, self-titled album, LITAXX. This huge album was produced by Mike Chapman (The Sweet, Tina Turner, Pat Benatar and featured the chart-toppers “Kiss Me Deadly” and “Close My Eyes Forever” (a duet with the late Ozzy Osbourne), the latter spending 25 weeks on the Billboard Top 10; a first ever top 10 for Ozzy.

Now more active than ever, Lita Ford is extensively touring across the United States and Europe. In addition to her relentless tour schedule, Lita is set to release a highly anticipated new album in 2026 which promises to deliver the fierce energy and signature guitar work fans around the world have come to love. With a legacy that spans nearly five decades, Lita Ford continues to inspire generations of musicians—solidifying even more, her place as an icon, pioneer, and true Queen of Rock.
