I just read on some message board that Lukas was going on tour himself. Anyone know for sure? What happened to RSSN? I had read one place that they weren't happy wiht the name rockstar supernova and planned to change the name of the whole band. here is another article I read but I don't know how well it was researched rock-star-mania.com/rock-star/Whether it’s because one of its members is quitting or due to a name change, Rock Star Supernova, the band formed on last summer’s Rock Star: Supernova CBS reality show, might eventually be no more. Entertainment Tonight Canada reported last week that “Rock Star Supernova is over,” citing “reports” that ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke “has left the group.” However those reports appear to be, at best, premature. “I have not left Rock Star Supernova,” Clarke said in a statement released Saturday, according to blabbermouth.net. “We just finished the tour. I don’t know where they got that from. I did an interview with ET Canada, and we talked about the future of the band, but I never said I’ve left the band.” Interestingly, Clarke’s statement appears to stop short of stating that he is not going to be leaving the struggling band, only that he hasn’t done so already. During the same report about Clarke’s departure, ET Canada also reported that Lukas Rossi — the Rock Star: Supernova contestant chosen to serve as the group’s lead singer — told the Canadian entertainment news show that the band will be changing its name. “There will be a name change… the best is yet to come,” Rossi told ET Canada. Despite its boastful name, things haven’t been going very super for the band since its formation. The day before last summer’s final Rock Star: Supernova performance show, a judge barred the group from using “Supernova,” a pre-existing band name that the group was originally planning to use as its band name. Then, a month after a Rock Star: Supernova finale broadcast that featured Rossi being touted as the new lead singer of “this supergroup,” bassist Jason Newsted tore his left bicep and rotator cuff, forcing him to miss the group’s first tour. Ticket sales for the recently completed tour — which featured Black Crowes bassist Johnny Colt replacing Newsted — were less than stellar and the band’s self-titled debut album (released November 21, 2006) received mostly negative reviews and failed to make Billboard’s Top 100 in the U.S.

Thanks for posting that, Mary Beth! Lukas' acoustic tour is a side project. Supernova is still together, they are just changing their name. It sounds like they already have the name but just haven't announced it yet. The rumors of a breakup aren't true. Gilby has denied them, and so has Lukas in some recent interviews... ET Canada from 4/25: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwI6JSg4VSkCBC interview from 4/27: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQq46NRVmSALukas has sent several bulletins on MySpace to keep in touch with his fans and occasionally posts at Rockband (which is now rockbandlounge.com). This is Lukas' new MySpace page: www.myspace.com/lukasrossitvHere's his latest blog, just posted today! Just watched this, Mary Lee. JK did a great job! I sure hope to be able to see them perform again someday.

Heeeeeeeeeeeee, I heard that Lukas is getting married to Kendra (supposedly she is a stripper so she is probably quite hot)! I think she is the one he dumped his old girlfriend for. I have heard her name come up ever since that fateful night!

They actually got married a week ago today. Word slipped out because Storm announced it when she performed at the Viper in L.A. last week--I think Lukas and Kendra were there, to support her. When the rumors started flying, Kendra posted on Rockband to confirm that they were married (she has posted there before).
That explains why Lukas took Kendra home to Canada to meet his family recently. No specific details on the ceremony yet, but I suppose we'll hear more at some point!

Congratulations, Lukas and Kendra. Hope it lasts since he hasn't known her all that long...less than a year. Wanda

Not too bad, I think it went gold in Canada. But way less than they expected.

The CD actually went PLATINUM in Canada... and I think they sold pretty well in US... Prissy - the CD is great! You can get it on Amazon or itunes. As for Lukas marrying Kendra... well... she just BETTER be faithful LOL.. guess I could say the same for him. I hope he doesn't regret his decision either... he must be in love... can't believe marriage so soon...
