Supergroup Supernova has commented on the addition of former Black Crowes member Johnny Colt as the temporary replacement for injured bassist Jason Newsted. Colt, also known for his work with Train, will handle bass duties for the band's much-buzzed-about North American tour, which launches on New Year's Eve with a sold-out show at The Joint in Las Vegas.

"Johnny's the guy," says Tommy Lee (MÖTLEY CRÜE). "Gilby and I have known him for a long time. He's the kind of player that can plug in and immediately make his presence felt. You'll know what I mean when you see us live. We're ready to roll, folks."

Colt will be with Supernova when the band makes its national television debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on November 21.
