To Be A Supernova!

Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, Guns 'n' Roses' Gilby Clarke and Metallica's Jason Newsted… This July be prepared to have your world rocked as STAR World brings you RockStar: Supernova starting tonight at 8 PM. The hunt for the lead singer of one of the most legendary bands, RockStar: Supernova is a reality show like you've never seen before.

This year, there will be 16 talented singers - picked from auditions held in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Asia. Each is already a star in the making. 16 diverse personalities with 16 different voices - living, working and singing together for 13 weeks to compete for their ticket to fame. And at the end, the winner records an album as a member of the new super group, Supernova and goes on a massive worldwide tour with three of the biggest music influences of our time.

"I've toured with both Gilby and Jason. They're incredible musicians and I've always wanted to play with them," said Tommy Lee. "Starting a new band with old friends on worldwide television is going to be a blast, and we're going to pull out all the stops to find the most charismatic and musically talented lead singer to front Supernova. I love breaking the rules."

Bassist Jason Newsted added, "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to play with guys I've respected for a long time. It gives us a chance to be innovators. This is a new thing. It's never been done before. We're going to break new ground musically and on television. The anticipation is building in me." Lead guitarist and co-writer Gilby Clarke proclaimed, "Rock n' Roll is so alive and I'm so excited to be a part of Rock Star. This is television history! Where else can you raid three historic bands to form one great band?"

Last year on Rockstar: INXS, we saw electrifying performances - an unprecedented quality of competition on 'any' talent show, amazing new songs written by the contestants, and an amazing range of rock music - all of which propelled Canadian J.D. Fortune to success with INXS.

This year, hosted once again by Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke, and brought to you by Mark Burnett, the man behind Survivor and The Apprentice, Rock Star: Supernova will also feature stars and erstwhile fans like Slash, Macy Gray, Moby, Rob Zombie, Brian May, Ash, Courtney Love and even actor Hank Azaria. Plus an astonishing catalogue of songs covering more than five decades of rock music!
