GREAT WHITE Singer Forced To Miss Redondo Beach Concert, XYZ's TERRY ILOUS Steps In

August 13, 2010

Due to a "medical emergency," GREAT WHITE's Jack Russell was reportedly forced to sit out last night's (Thursday, August 12) concert at the Brixton in Redondo Beach, California. His replacement for the show was Terry Ilous of XYZ.

Steve Brownlee, manager for Joshua Peraha and the band JOSHUA, tells BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "It was an awkward set mostly comprised of their ballads that featured Terry Ilous on about half the songs. Lead vocal duties on half the set were split amongst Mark Kendall [guitar], Michael Lardie [guitar] and Scott Snyder [bass]. The band even played a song from Mark's solo album and the set featured two extended guitar jams."

Low-quality video footage of GREAT WHITE's "Face The Day" performance from last night's concert can be viewed below.

Ilous previously filled in for Russell during GREAT WHITE's May 30, 2009 performance at the My Waterloo Days festival in Waterloo, Iowa.

GREAT WHITE released its latest album, "Rising", in North America in April 2009 via Shrapnel Records. The CD was issued in Europe on March 13, 2009 through Frontiers Records.

Since reuniting in January 2007 to perform a benefit concert, GREAT WHITE has moved forward with the successful release in the summer of the same year of their return album "Back To The Rhythm", a record which was hailed by critics and fans as a return to the heydays of the band. After a world tour that celebrated the first 25 years of GREAT WHITE and that brought them for 14 concerts to Europe, bass player Sean McNabb opted out and was replaced by Scott Snyder (ex-RAMOS, ACCOMPLICE).

GREAT WHITE is:

Jack Russell - vocals
Michael Lardie - guitars, keyboards
Mark Kendall - guitars
Scott Snyder - bass
Audie Desbrow - drums
