He is going to be a guest mentor on American Idol for Rush Night. Can't wait to hear one of those folks cover "Bastille Day."

Dumb I know..

Had to be the first one to do this.

Soleil? I may have been April Fooled.

I could have said Lee Sklar is gigging with Fall Out Boy.. looking at his credits anything is possible.
