Love is in the air: Sully Erna of Godsmack reveals more about his personal life

Sully Erna, the frontman of Godsmack, initially revealed his romantic involvement with Dorothy Martin, the lead vocalist of the rock group Dorothy, during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” on April 23, as per Blabbermouth. Erna also discussed the song “Set Me Free” that he and Dorothy collaborated on.

It’s actually really good. It’s a banger. It’s coming out soon.

Sully said this about how he and Dorothy first connected on the tune mentioned above.

Me and her connected originally because we both went through some history and with bad relationships. A lot of people kind of go through these things, but we have the opportunity to kind of voice it and vent it through our art. So we both kind of had gone through a similar situation that just felt really appropriate to kind of write about it and set it free. And the song became obvious. And it’s just a down-and-dirty good hard rock song. And it’s not a ballad, it’s nothing sappy. It’s actually the opposite.

Dorothy, who turned 40 earlier this month, expressed her excitement about her new connection to “Trunk Nation” presenter Eddie Trunk.

I love this man, he’s such a good, solid man. I feel safe with him. And we had a wonderful friendship for months and months. I’ve never laughed so much in my life. My face hurts.
