Christopher Lee is releasing an album at the age of 85.
The screen legend sings jazz, flamenco and even some heavy metal on his new record 'Revelation'.
He said: "There are not a lot of octogenarians who release albums, or, for that matter, keep working.
"The great thing in any career is to surprise people - and I have certainly done that."
Meanwhile, Lee's proposed role in Tim Burton's new musical film 'Sweeney Todd' has been axed.
The actor was set to play a 'gentleman ghost' in the hotly-anticipated movie, based on Stephen Sondheim's hit stage production, but the scenes have been cut before even reaching the shooting stage.
Lee said: "It would have been worse if I had done the scenes, but I never got to film them. It's a shame as the lyrics for my song were wonderful, but these things happen."
