Tuner Time For Ty

Tytaylor Remember Ty Taylor, the mohawked singer who appeared positioned to win the role of lead singer for INXS when the band decided to do an "American Idol"-like contest to replace Michael Hutchence? Well "Rock Star" is long forgotten, along with Marty and Mig and whoever it was who won the contest. JD somebody, right? Somehow, though, Ty is memorable - and not just because he played a character named Britney Spears in the Las Vegas production of "We Will Rock You." Taylor, now singer and guitarist in Dakota Moon, returns to the musical theater on Sept. 17 at the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Benefit at the Ford Amphitheater in L.A. Taylor will play Freddie in "Chess," the musical penned by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.
