The time have finally arrived as CBS will premiere ROCKSTAR: SUPERNOVA tonight at 8:00 pm EST.
15 Contestants will vie to be the new lead singer of Supernova, a new-band formed by drummer Tommy Lee (Motley Crüe) with bassist Jason Newsted (Metallica) and guitarist Gilby Clarke (Guns N′ Roses).
After the winning singer is selected on the ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA finale in September, the band will record an original album, to be co-written and produced by Butch Walker (hit songwriter/producer for Avril Lavigne and Pink). The album will then be released in the fall before the band embarks on a world tour starting in early 2007.
