Turning Point For Velvet Revolver With Their New Singer

(Gibson) After many auditions, it seems that Velvet Revolver have found their new lead singer. But, they're not quite ready to reveal the new frontman's name.

Drummer Matt Sorum says that Velvet Revolver have found a singer that they "really like a lot" and that "this could be a real turning point for the band." The group, which also includes guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, have been without a singer since Scott Weiland left in 2008 to return to Stone Temple Pilots.

"We can't make the announcement yet because we're 'dating,' you know," Sorum said. "We haven't consummated the relationship, we haven't sat down this gentleman and made the agreement together." Sorum was able to offer some clues. He said the frontman is a "known guy" and that he is "younger and stronger."
