Chart-topping rock bands Daughtry and Lynyrd Skynyrd have been added to the stellar list of musicians set to perform on New Year’s Eve Live, airing Wednesday, Dec. 31 (11p ET) on FOX.
Spike Feresten of “Talkshow With Spike Feresten” and Mark Thompson of “Hole In The Wall” will host from the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip and lead the count down to 2009. The evening will feature performances by David Cook, Daughtry, Scott Weiland and Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as a death-defying motorcycle jump by daredevil Robbie Knievel.
Spike will be joined by special correspondent Chrissy Russo of KSWB/FOX 5 San Diego for special interviews and a behind-the-scenes look at three of Cirque du Soleil’s Las Vegas shows “Zumanity, The Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil,” “The Beatles LOVE” and the new “CRISS ANGEL® Believe™.” As 2008 comes to a close, the annual celebration will move to New York City to ring in the New Year with FOX News’ live coverage of the world-famous New Year’s Eve Ball making its descent into Times Square.
Taking into account the tremendous post-Idol success Daughtry, fronted by Chris Daughtry, has had, it’s no wonder they were asked to perform at this exciting event. Their self-titled debut album was released the same year Chris was on AI, and it reached number one for two non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. It sold more than four million copies and was named the number one selling album of 2007 by Billboard. Their singles “It’s Not Over” and “Home” both ranked in the Top 10 of the most-played songs on U.S. radio in 2007.
