Chuck Berry announces new album on 90th birthday

18 October 2016 Entertainment & Arts

US rock and roll legend Chuck Berry has marked his 90th birthday by announcing his first new album in 38 years.

Simply titled Chuck, the 2017 release will be "comprised primarily of new, original songs" and was recorded "in various studios around St Louis".

"I've worked on this record for a long time," Berry said in a statement. "Now I can hang up my shoes!"

The veteran musician said the record was dedicated to Themetta "Toddy" Berry, his "beloved" wife of 68 years.
