The band to look for a lead singer on the reality series "Rock Star" has been announced, and it will be a new group sort of. Drummer Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns and Roses) and bassist Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica) will form a new supergroup in search of a singer. The winner will join the band, record an album, tour the world, and then likely break up as a result of petty infighting and jealousy, reunite years later, and will still have their reunion album out before a new Guns and Roses album appears.

Rumours have been around for the past month of who would take part, including Van Halen, Queen, and Alice and Chains. With this announcement, Freddie Mercury will hopefully stop spinning in his grave. And who the hell could have hoped to replace Layne Staley from Alice in Chains? You try to imitate Layne, you end up sounding like Nickleback or Creed.

INXS found singer JD Fortune in the intial season and have found renewed success. The CBS series, with returning hosts Dave Navarro and Brooke Burns, returns this summer.
