Rock Star: Supernova 'Supernova' album

After months of heated speculation, ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA, the all-star band featuring Motley Crue drummer TOMMY LEE, former Guns N' Roses guitarist GILBY CLARKE and ex-Metallica bassist JASON NEWSTED have embraced Toronto native LUKAS ROSSI as their lead vocalist. The new quartet will immediately head into the studio with producer Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Pink, Bowling For Soup) to record their Epic Records debut. The highly anticipated album is scheduled for a November 21st release.

"Lukas is the real deal," says Lee. "He proved that he's got the voice and swagger to front this band. He's gonna tear it up in the studio and then we're taking the show on the road. Wear a cup, kids."

"This is the gig of a lifetime," says Rossi. "That I'll be singing in a band with Tommy, Gilby and Jason-guys that I've always respected-is just surreal. Can't wait to get started."

Rossi joins the group after their exhaustive lead singer search, a quest that spanned 25,000 entrants, 22 cities and 6 continents. The band spent the summer assessing 15 finalists on everything from songwriting skills to live performance.

In January 2007, Rock Star: Supernova will hit the road for their first worldwide tour. Supporting will be The Panic Channel, which features three former members of Jane's Addiction and "Rock Star: Supernova" co-host Dave Navarro. Also on the bill will be fan favorites from the show, backed by the House Band. The tour kicks off with two inaugural shows in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, then moves on to the Hard Rock in Miami, Florida on January 16th for a 27-city trek, culminating at the Long Beach Arena in Southern California on February 27th.
