Former Fuel singer Toryn Green and John Borja have both hinted at being finalists to become the new lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots. According to The Pulse Of Radio, auditions begin in Los Angeles on April 18 and STP have announced on Facebook that they have chosen finalists to try out in person. Under that post, Green commented, “This has been an amazing experience . . . Good luck to you all! -TG.” Meanwhile, Borja posted in response, “Toryn Good Luck Bruh!” to which Green answered, “And to you John!” Green’s audition was one of many posted online for fans to see, and he recently responded to criticism of his audition, explaining, “I’m 40 now, but a decade ago, when Fuel had their open auditions and I was selected after months for that position, I was stylistically altered to fit THAT band during THAT time.” He continued, “A lot of the flack I’m reading on here about me is purely superficial, (chains, ripped jeans etc) but what you are failing to realize is the context . . . Do I realize that STP is a different type of band with a different stylistic creative approach to musical expression, AND that this is 2016? Absolutely.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
