Some acts however, seem to be struggling to find any singers to work with. Velvet Revolver still haven't found a new vocalist say Rolling Stone. Anyone who fancies stepping into Scott Weiland's shoes should send their CV and a covering letter to Slash:

Finally, we leave you with some tragic news in the showbiz world - thats right, angryape have confirmed that Cheryl Cole, (that musical genius) has left that footballing bloke she's been shacked up with. Que lots of gut wrenching interviews with OK! magazine and the inevitable 'heartbreak' album...which will no doubt be a classic of epic proportions.....
