Gary Cherone

Gary Cherone was the lead singer for the hard rock band Extreme, which enjoyed moderate success in the early 1990s. After Extreme's demise he was recruited to replace Sammy Hagar in the band Van Halen, which provoked a furious backlash among many Van Halen fans. The single album for which he contributed vocals, Van Halen III, was the poorest-selling album of the band's career, and Cherone mutually split with the band after the tour. He later sang co-lead vocals with Sammy Hagar on a live version of the Van Halen song "When It's Love", on the Sammy Hagar live album Live! Hallelujah. He has since formed a new band, Tribe of Judah, which had an EP (2001) and album release (2002). His first solo EP is due out in late 2005 (Oct 15).
