Supernova have frontman if not a name

Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke have chosen Lukas Rossi, a Rock Star contestant, as frontman, though the name Supernova faces legal challenge.

Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke last week chose Canadian wannabe rocker Lukas Rossi to front their new super-group. Rossi won the frontman position via the second series of American reality show Rock Star. He will now record and tour with the Motley Crue man, and former Metallica and Guns n Roses members, although, as previously reported, whether they will be able to use their intended name - Supernova - remains to be seen. Another US band called Supernova is taking legal action to stop the new supergroup from using the moniker.
