Murphy talks about his new vampiric role...

Original vampire enthusiast, Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy makes a cameo appearance as ‘The Cold One' in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the most recent installment of the Twilight series.

The movie debuts in theaters on June 30th. Murphy will be on the red carpet for the London premier.

Murphy's last movie appearance was when Bauhaus performed in 1983's Bela Lugosi's Dead, which starred David Bowie.

Murphy was excited about the new role. "Who else could have and should have done it?" he laughs. "It was really lovely and smart of David Slade to ask me…I was honored, actually."

Murphy launches the "Dirty Dirt Tour" in late July, and is adding the finishing touches to his new studio album Ninth, due in the fall. Dates are below.

"I have had my Ninth album ready to go for a while now," Peter explains. "I've been playing it live, alongside Bauhaus classics and my own hits, long before the official release and it's added more stardust to the long shelf life of songs I have under my belt."
