Acting legend Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars series) is releasing a music CD called Revelation that includes a heavy metal song! The ditty is called “The Toreador March” and it's sung in French.

The age of 84-year-old stage and screen vet is convinced he is the oldest rocker to record an album. And he may be right…

"I really believe that when people hear this CD they will say, 'Yes he really can sing,'” Lee said recently. “And it is a unique recording. As far as I know no other man of my age has sung on an album."

Though he’s hoping music fans young and old will get into the groove, sadly, he ain’t gonna be touring behind it…’cause that would be just silly (as if an 84-year-old singing metal isn’t…).
