Lane To Replace Recovering Russell In Great White

Russell has been forced to sit out the tour after suffering a perforated bowel and is currently recovering after major surgery.

XYZ star Terry Ilous stepped in to replace the singer for Great White's August (10) dates, but now Lane will rock with the band until the end of the year (10).

In a post on his website, Lane writes, "I consider it an honor and a privilege!"

Lane was sentenced to serve 120 days behind bars after pleading no contest to DUI following a May (10) arrest for crashing into a parked car while driving in Woodland Hills, California.

It is not known how his tour plans with Great White will affect his prison stint.

Lane's dates with Great White begin on 3 September (10). His initial run of shows will wrap up on New Year's Eve (31Dec10) in Minnesota.
