Punk poet/provocateur Henry Rollins [ tickets ] will launch the initial North American leg of his latest spoken word tour in March following a slate of international dates.

The "Frequent Flyer Tour" kicks off March 2 in Clearwater, FL, and currently runs through an April 9 date in Madison, WI, including a seven-night stretch of shows in Canada. Details are included at the right; the performer's overseas schedule can be found at Rollins' website.

Rollins continues to flourish in several modes of media simultaneously, even after his Independent Film Channel series, "The Henry Rollins Show," was canceled in 2007. Rollins has appeared in several episodes of the critically acclaimed FX series "Sons of Anarchy," and continues to host his own show on Santa Monica, CA, radio station KCRW.

Last year Rollins released "Provoked," his 15th live spoken word album. The CD portion of the dual CD/DVD combo was recorded in San Francisco in 2007 and the Netherlands in 2008 during Rollins' "Provoked" tour, and the DVD includes the Comedy Central special "Live and Ripped From London."

More recently, Rollins joined singer Peaches to provide between-track spoken interludes on The Flaming Lips' forthcoming digital-only revamp of Pink Floyd's classic 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon." The set, titled "The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon," will be available for one week only through iTunes, beginning Tuesday (12/22).

Rollins rose to prominence in the early '80s as the frontman for punk band Black Flag and went on to form the Rollins Band, which last toured in 2006. In addition to performing live, acting and authoring books, he is an outspoken human rights activist.
