He will join an exclusive list of actors, celebrities and members of the music industry who will take to the lanes and showcase their bowling skills to raise awareness for autism.
The evening will be hosted by Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) and will also include a silent auction with rare rock 'n' roll photography from legendary photographers Jim Marshall and Richard E. Aaron, music, food, drinks and the chance to play the Rock Band video game.
