William Shatner is announcing a metal concert .

William Shatner, the 95-year-old actor famous for his role as Captain Kirk in 'Star Trek,' has announced a debut performance with his heavy metal band The *uckers at a music festival in Chicago on September 20. He shared a post on Instagram featuring a photo of him in a leather jacket swinging a guitar, accompanied by the message that this event would be something worth telling grandchildren about.
