The latest round of the reality quest is on.Details of audition dates for the second season of CBS's Rock Star have been announced, kicking off as early as tomorrow (March 6) in Atlanta.
Although not yet confirmed, most industry rumours point towards hard rock act Van Halen being the latest act to sign up to the reality show. The band are currently without a frontman following Sammy Hagar's departure.
Although not yet a global attraction, the first Rock Star was a runaway hit across the US, with INXS auditioning 15 singers for the slot of frontman with the Australian band. JD fortune was that season's winner and is currently touring with the band on its world tour.
The new series will see Dave Navarro returning as the rock and roll mentor for the new batch of singers, and auditions kick off next week.
