Bret Scallions Leaves Fuel, According to Alt. Addiction Options

[SJN1279]

I wonder if Carl let him go because of his voice issues. They are looking for a replacement lead singer according to Alternativeaddiction.com

Brett pretty much left the band last fall, but Chookie's right, there was legal stuff in the way.

He was not 'let go'.

And, um, no after 'Shimmer' on Sunburn they went on to have 2 other very sucessful albums - Something Like Human (A little song called Hemorhage/In My Hands for example) and Natural Selection (Falls on Me, Won't Back Down)

The Fuel they were will always hold a big place in my heart and i really think it sucks that Carl doesnt want a new name for what's basically gonna be an all new line up without Kevin and Brett.

Oh..ok, well they didn't really make it big here at all after that song.

Something like Human was a very successful album. Natural Selection was a big-time flop which caused the band to pretty much break-up. I'm sure Bret wouldn't leave Fuel to become the bass player in a band called X if his voice wasn't shot.

If INXS, Journey etc can tour without their lead singer, why should Fuel change their name? Bret was a processed voice during the last tour......maybe a singer who can actually sing will make Fuel a strong concert act again. I saw them at the Borgata last November and thought they were extremely dull.......the change can only help in my opinion.
