Marty Casey may not be the next lead singer of INXS, but he's still a rock star.
The 31-year-old Chicago singer was the runner-up Tuesday night on the CBS reality show "Rock Star: INXS" -- a competition to find a new lead singer for the multi-platinum band.
J.D. Fortune, a musician from Canada, was the band's choice to replace former lead singer Michael Hutchence, who died in 1997. By winning the competition, Fortune will record a new CD with the band and take part in a world tour.
But don't feel too bad for Casey -- he was given a golden opportunity. After telling him they didn't choose him as their next lead singer, they did offer Casey the possibility of opening up for the band when they go on tour.
Casey, who's band the Lovehammers has been a Chicago favorite for over a decade, said it was the best of both worlds.
"When they announced that [Fortune] was the winner my heart just sank," Casey said Tuesday night. "But when they said they wanted the Lovehammers to open up their world tour, I felt like I was back from the abyss, and it kind of feels like its the right thing to happen for me."

My heart just sank too when INXS didn't pick Marty. I am happy about it now though. He's doing really well with his band Lovehammers. Have you been keeping up with them? I can't wait until they come to my town again in concert. I saw them in Febuary and it was so fun. Come and leave a comment on my blog if you like. It's all about Marty Casey & Lovehammers.
