Figured if this was true, I would have read it here first.
Maybe this rumor has already shown up here and been discounted, but ... here's what I just read ...

The more I read this, the more NONE of it adds up.
a) There is NO mention that Pearl Aday is Meatloaf's daughter or Scott Ian's wife
b) There is a band called Alyson Avenue but nothing I could find indicates that Pearl Aday was ever a member of that band
c) Nuclear Blast is a METAL label. It would make no sense for Blind Melon to be on this label
d) There are no quotes from anybody in Blind Melon. You'd think if they were announcing a new singer, somebody from the band would have something to say
I think somebody just wanted to see if a rumor could spread and, hey, I fell for it on first read. It wasn't until I started writing this post that I realized how ridiculous it all sounds.

Blind Melon have confirmed the replacement for former frontman Travis Warren - who quit the group in December 2008 - The New FrontWOman is... Pearl Aday.
"During my singing career I've sung nearly every kind of music that there is," says the 35-year-old. "I was raised in a musical family and I've been singing since childhood. I joined my first real band when I was 17, it was a cover band and all the other musicians were older than me. After playing cover songs, I joined a band called Alyson Avenue, first just as a studio singer, later as their leading lady. We've released 2 albums since 2000.
"At the age of 21, I played the leading role in a rock opera/musical called 'GrÑnsland' in Helsingborg. In addition to the already mentioned, I've been in several other bands over the years, I've sung in choirs, done studio work for various projects and I've even occasionally been a wedding singer."
Blind Melon's new studio album will be released in September through Nuclear Blast
