  • Fuel Return With Brett Scallions And World Tour

    Posted by Mikel on March 12, 2010

    Fuel will begin a full world tour beginning sometime this April and extending through this Fall and Summer, however, the band will be without its co-founders Carl Bell and Jeff Abercrombie.

    The lineup will however consist of original front-man Brett Scallions, bassist Brad Stewart (ex-Shinedown), guitarist Yogi Lonich (ex-Buckcherry, The Wallflowers, Chris Cornell Band) and drummer Ken Schalk (ex-Candiria).

    Dates and more details are expected sometime soon. Check out the announcement from Brett Scallions below:

    Here we go!

    Hey, all you Fuelies out there. First off, I’d like to thank each and every one of you for being as patient as possible over these past few weeks. I’ve been reading your posts and am aware of your excitement as well as your concerns for the upcoming shows that I hope we all embark on together. In a nutshell, we are planning a full world tour starting in mid April and going throughout the entire summer and into the fall. we’ve already confirmed shows such as the WMMR-BQ as well as festivals throughout Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and New York.
    I’m so excited about this because I get to play with a group of guys that I’ve wanted to play with since I met each one of them. I look at this as a way for the four of us to come together and not only give you guys and gals the best shows that you could ever ask for but to also be creative and record some new material. And now, the band is…

    Brett Scallions
    Yogi-guitar (Buck Cherry, The Wallflowers, Chris Cornell Band)
    Ken Schalk-drums (Candiria)
    Brad Stewart-bass (Shinedown)

    These guys are all SICK players and I can’t wait to rock a stage with them. I hope you guys are all as excited as I am and are willing to make it out to a show and let loose for awhile. Peace. Brett

    It won’t be the same as the original Fuel. Unfortunately things aren’t really resolved between Carl and myself and Jeff has decided that he no longer wants to tour. All I’m asking from you guys is that you at least give me a chance to give you a great show. You gave Carl that chance when he was the only one on the stage. Some of you have already commented on how you won’t be making this one. Well, you just might miss something great.
