Geoff Tate

Not-quite-shocking Queensryche fans all over the world, lead singer Geoff Tate exited that band this past spring after a month-long row with his bandmates that included shouting, punching, and spitting matches at even intervals. Tate's wife and daughter had been relieved of their managerial and fan-club duties, with turmoil lurking between band members as well. While the future of Queensryche's financial and recording life is debated in the courts, Tate has set out on his own with some new players behind him, playing all the Queensryche hits and new solo material.
