Henry Rollins Tours South Africa

Henry Rollins, the prolific musician, actor and writer, trades in his airline miles for a tour bus with the launch of his Frequent Flyer Tour

"Hank" as he is known by his large and fiercely loyal fan base, promised South Africans on his previous visit that, given time, America would improve and, 24 months after he made that statement, a Nobel Peace Prize winner now runs his beloved country.

 In Frequent Flyer he promises fresh tales of rock 'n roll mayhem, current events dissected live and postcards from his never-ending walk all over the planet. Of course, he's intelligent enough to know it's not all roses.

When Henry talks about travelling the world, he's not referring to plush resorts and genteel European cities. Henry's current and most recent travels include stops in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, China, and Senegal.

These global experiences - like past excursions to such vacation hotspots as Pakistan, Myanmar, and Siberia - not only supply humorous anecdotes for Henry's talking shows, but they inform his worldview. As the tour poster bills it, "Knowledge without mileage equals bullsh*t."

Amidst his extensive globetrotting, Henry the actor, author, and radio host remains as busy as ever. Henry recently concluded an extended guest run as rival thug A.J. Weston on the FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy. He continues to do his weekly radio show on L.A.'s revered NPR affiliate KCRW.
