Daughtry Returns to Road After Bon Jovi Supporting Tour

Posted by Janice Bryant On August - 12 - 2008

The rock band Daughtry is getting a deluxe edition ready of its phenomenally successful debut album from 2006, as the band prepares to hit the road for a North American tour that will last for a month.

Earlier this year Daughtry toured with the veteran band Bon Jovi. They will head back out on the road, kicking off in Las Vegas on August 15. The band will be crisscrossing the US and stopping in Ontario in Canada. They will also be playing shows for both of the national political conventions to help promote ONE Campaign, an organization that works to raise the awareness of global hunger, disease and poverty.

On September 9 Daughtry will be releasing an expanded version based on the band’s quadruple platinum debut album. It topped Billboard’s 200 chart and after 89 weeks is still on the chart. The self-titled album has spawned six hit singles and is the fastest selling debut for a rock album in the history of SoundScan as well as the largest selling album over the last two years.

The deluxe edition will feature the original 12 songs from the album along with four bonus tracks that include acoustic performances of “What About Now,” “Home” and a cover of “Feels Like the First Time,” the Foreigner classic. There will also be a bonus DVD with videos for five hit singles from the album as well as exclusive interviews with members of the band and lives performances.

Fans of Daughtry will also be given the opportunity to rock out virtually with the band. “What I Want,” their hit single, is part of the latest version for the video game “Guitar Hero.”

The band Daughtry was established by Chris Daughtry, “American Idol” finalist, who was able to rise to fame quickly in 2006 when he made it to the final four in the Fox TV series contest. After he was voted off “American Idol,” the namesake of the band turned down Fuel’s offer to replace their lead singer. He decided to form his own band instead.
