William Shatner, 94, Is Releasing a Heavy Metal Album. Seriously.

Star Trek legend William Shatner surprised sci-fi fans with a bizarre announcement. The 94-year-old actor said he will not only be releasing more music, but a heavy metal album.

Shatner made the announcement in an Instagram post on Feb. 19. The social media-savvy senior citizen posted a rather blurry photo (that may or may not be AI generated) of himself holding a guitar with a long caption revealing his latest project.

"This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces," he wrote.
