When Brett Scallions quit Fuel last year, the rock band was left without a singer.

When the members of Fuel saw Chris Daughtry perform one of their songs on American Idol this season, they saw an opportunity.

So they offered Daughtry a job to become their new frontman.

“Chris, if you are watching, we’ve talked about this before, and if you want to entertain it again we’ll take it and go,” the band’s bassist, Jeff Abercrombie, told Extra Thursday, right after Daughtry’s surprise exit from American Idol.

Although Daughtry is clearly a fan, having performed “Hemorrhage” on the show recently, he is not expected to join the band.

Because of his popularity, he would probably make more money launching a solo career when the show ends this month.

He told reporters after the show that he has not decided whether to accept Fuel’s offer or to release a solo album.
