andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

The remaining members of Alice In Chains will be back on tour this fall.

The band, who did a few sold out U.S. shows before kicking off this tour, has William DuVall as the band’s singer, replacing the late Layne Staley.

It is uncertain if William DuVall, who was the singer for Comes With The Fall, has been made a permanent member of the group, reports MTV.

Tickets for the tour dates will be available on August 14 for the fan-club members on their website, and on August 19 for the public. Supporting the tour is Hurt.

The tour will be in support of a double-disc set, “The Essential Alice in Chains,” due out September 5. The disc will be in honour of their great history with the late Layne Staley.

The surviving members of Alice in Chains will regroup this summer for a tour, according to Billboard.

This will be the first time the members have toured together without lead singer Layne Staley, who died from a drug overdose in 2002. Their last tour was in 1996.

In February of last year, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike Inez and drummer Sean Kinney hit the stage together in Seattle for a tsunami benefit.

No official word on the substitute singer has been announced. Tour dates and cities have also yet to be announced.

“Rock Star: Alice in Chains?” on CBS this summer? Don’t count on it.
