| MUMBAI:
US broadcaster CBS has announced the names of the 15 performers for the music
based reality show Rock Star: Supernova. In India, the show will air on
Star World from next month. The participants will
vie to be the new lead singer of Supernova, a new-band formed by drummer Tommy
Lee (Motley Cre) with bassist Jason Newsted (Metallica) and guitarist Gilby Clarke
(Guns N' Roses). After the winning singer is selected on the show's finale
in September, the band will record an album. The album will then be released in
the fall before the band embarks on a world tour starting early next year. The previous edition saw
rock band INXS choose J.D. Fortune as their new frontman. |
