Ronettes star Ronnie Spector will act as counselor at the 2007 Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp in New York, scheduled to start later this month. She'll join Kiss stars Paul Stanley and Bruce Kulick, Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, Mountain rocker Leslie West and Carole King, among others, at the event, which takes place between August 30 and September 3. Tickets for the five-day extravaganza, at which the legendary musicians teach fans the art of rock 'n' roll, cost $9,000 each.
This is good news for Spector as it allows her to escape perils of the murder trial of ex-husband Phil Spector. Spector is accused of fatally shooting Lana Clarkson, a 40-year-old actress and House of Blues hostess, in the foyer of his Alhambra mansion during the early hours of Feb. 3, 2003. He maintains Clarkson's death was a suicide.
