Rat Pak Records welcomes legendary Stryper front man Michael Sweet to the fold! Michael will be heading into the studio in late fall of this year to begin work on his next solo CD that will see the light of day sometime in early 2016. As for this year, we will have some other cool stuff going on with Michael that we will be announcing in the very near future! If you haven’t already, go like Michael‘s official Facebook page.
Sweet‘s latest solo album “I’m Not Your Suicide” album, and his first autobiography, “Honestly: My Life And Stryper Revealed”, are both released on May 6 2014. “I’m Not Your Suicide” sold around 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 154 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Sweet‘s autobiography, ”Honestly: My Life And Stryper Revealed”, chronicles an amazing 30-year career and includes endorsements from Eddie Trunk, Dave Mustaine, Larry The Cable Guy, Jeordie White and Chris Jericho.
Our review of “I’m Not Your Suicide” can be found here.
The future remains bright for Sweet, who has endured heartbreaking tribulations throughout his life and career, including the 2009 passing of his wife of more than 22 years, Kyle. In 2010, Sweet remarried to Lisa Champagne-Sweet, a woman he describes as “a Godsend and the one who fits perfectly by my side.”
‘After 30 years in this business, I feel honored and blessed to be able to continue doing what it is I love, making music,’ said Sweet.
‘I’m extremely thankful to have the greatest fans in the world.
‘God has blessed me with this talent and I plan to continue on this path as long as I can draw breath.’
