Chris Daughtry Among ‘American Idol’ Rock Week Guests
Former “American Idol” contestant Chris Daughtry is returning to the show that gave him his big break.
The singer announced Friday that his band Daughtry will perform their new single, “No Surprise,” for the reality competition series’ Rock Week on May 6.
The song is taken from Daughtry’s upcoming sophomore album, which is scheduled for release on July 14. The as-yet-untitled album is the follow-up to the band’s self-titled debut, which sold more than 4.4 million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan and was the top-selling album of 2007.
“‘American Idol’ fans have been so loyal to this band, we wanted to give them the first listen to our new single,” Daughtry said in a statement.
Rock Week will also feature a performance by No Doubt on Wednesday, while former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash will mentor the four remaining contestants for their performances on Tuesday’s show.
