Lita Ford's 1988 Concert History

Lita Ford (born Lita Rossana Ford on September 19, 1958, in London, England) burst onto the rock scene as the lead guitarist for the pioneering all-female band The Runaways. With hits like "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways laid the foundation for Lita Ford and other female rockstars including Joan Jett. After the group disbanded, Ford began a successful solo career, now spanning several decades. Her 1988 hit "Kiss Me Deadly" became an anthem of its era, while her soul-stirring duet with Ozzy Osbourne, "Close My Eyes Forever," showcased her versatility and became a chart-topping ballad. The track "Falling in and Out of Love," co-written with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, further cemented her reputation as a rock powerhouse. Throughout her career, Lita Ford broke boundaries, proving that women could dominate in the male-centric world of rock and roll, and remains an inspiration for aspiring female musicians everywhere.
