Gary Cherone

Gary Cherone was the lead singer for the hard rock band Extreme that enjoyed moderate success in the early 1990s. After Extreme's demise he was recruited to replace Sammy Hagar in Van Halen, which provoked a furious backlash among many Van Halen fans. The single album he contributed vocals for, Van Halen III, was the poorest-selling album of Van Halen's career, and he departed the band shortly thereafter. He has since formed a new band, Tribe of Judah .
