CONFIRMED: Fuel offers AI's Daughtry Lead Singer Gig
Breaking: Band 'Fuel' Offers American Idol's Chris Daughtry a Gig
By Cris Bergman
May 11, 2006
The mystery is over. The rock band Fuel has been revealed to be the band that wants to hire Chris Daughtry as their new frontman. It's a tough decision by Chris but appears to be a good fit.
TMZ has the report:
In an EXCLUSIVE interview, the multi-platinum rock band Fuel comes to Extra and to say they want American Idol’s eliminated Chris Daughtry!
Fuel bass player Jeff Abercrombie and songwriter/guitarist Carl Bell came straight to Extra’s Idol Correspondent Terri Seymour with the offer of a lifetime... they want Chris.
The band has been searching for a new lead singer and definitely took notice of Chris’ rendition of their hit “Hemorrhage” March 1st on Idol. “Chris, if you’re watching,” Bell says, “we’ve talked about this before, if you wanna entertain it again, we’ll entertain it again and go!”
How’d the idea get hatched? Extra Senior Executive Producer Lisa Gregorisch-Dempsey played the matchmaker. “It came to me last night as I watched Chris get voted off,” she says, “the wife of Fuel’s bass player works for Extra so I know the guys in the band well. It seemed like a perfect fit!”
As for Elvis, Bell says no worries. “Chris, you won’t have to do any Elvis songs if you come to Fuel bro- they’re no more! You won’t have to do that.”
***
No word yet as to an answer from Chris but even tough he was voted off last night - he's already the big winner this season on American Idol with this offer.

What's interesting is if Fuel re-records their album with chris (although I hear all that is left is for vocals to be laid down), will he still have to wait for the Idol winner to release theirs first?

Former Idol contestant turns down Fuel gig
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) - Former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry said Saturday he has turned down an offer to be lead singer for the band Fuel.
Daughtry, in Greensboro for a day of welcome-home appearances, said he expects to announce his next career move in a few months, probably after he finishes with an American Idol summer concert tour.
"I'm going to be doing my own thing," Daughtry told The Charlotte Observer.
The band offered Daughtry a job hours after viewers voted him off the Fox television talent show last month. Bass player Jeff Abercrombie and guitarist Carl Bell made their pitch on the TV show Extra.
He would have replaced Brett Scallions, who quit the multi-platinum rock band in February.

I just discovered he formed his own band and they have a CD out. I've been listening to the 30 second samples on iTunes and it sounds really good. I think I'll have to spend $9.99 on it.

I got the Daughtry CD as well. And besides "Its not over" or whatever the new single that's out you could use the CD as a coaster. It's horrible.
