If you have been following the saga of Rock Star Supernova (the group, not necessarily the TV show), you probably heard that just after they had solved the knotty problem of being sued over their intended name, Supernova, they suffered another blow. Well, actually, the blow was suffered by ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, who was sidelined after a piece of equipment fell on him and required surgery in both shoulders. With an album out Nov. 21 and a tour beginning New Year’s Eve, the band was forced to find a substitute until Newsted recovers. That sub: Johnny Colt, who was with the Black Crowes in their early days.

Actually I think they have a better chance of surviving and finishing the tour without Newsted.
