Rockers Velvet Revolver are close to finding a frontman to replace former singer Scott Weiland. The supergroup, featuring former Guns N' Roses stars Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, fired Weiland after a series of public band fights in April and have been looking for a new singer ever since.

The search stalled late last year after Liv Tyler's ex-husband, British rocker Royston Langdon, formerly of the band Spacehog, auditioned for the group - but McKagan insists there's new hope.

He tells ThePulseofRadio.com, "In the last, I would say, about eight weeks, we got three guys in that were all really good - like, far and above, more fitting than the rest... We're headed in a very positive direction, and you might be hearing something soon."
