SHOCK ME … Vinnie Vincent had introduced new singer Scott Board just 6 days ago, now he’s back-pedaled stating: “I’m auditioning singers”

“My moment of happiness was jammin it out with my new singer SCOTT BOARD in our first studio shredd performance on some of my favorite songs” — Vinnie Vincent / May 23rd 2023

“I’m auditioning singers for a new tour and record.” — Vinnie Vincent / May 29th 2023

Metal Sludge — We can’t make this stuff up.

It seems Vinnie Vincent has announced his new lead singer and in less than a week, has retracted that statement and subsequently put out feelers that he is looking for a new lead singer.

On May 23rd a post appeared on the Vinnie Vincent Legion private Facebook group which included a message from Vinnie Vincent to his fans announcing his new lead singer. (see screen capture)

The message from Vincent was sharing his excitement about the recent studio listening party the former Kiss guitarist held in Nashville.

Included in the message was Vincent introducing his new lead singer Scott Board.

Message from Vinnie Vincent introducing new singer Scott Board, see enlarged version below.

“My moment of happiness was jammin it out with my new singer SCOTT BOARD in our first studio shredd performance on some of my favorite songs” wrote Vincent.

The post also included an image of Vincent with Board as seen above.

Blabbermouth picked up the news last week and shared a headline that read: “VINNIE VINCENT Introduces His New Singer SCOTT BOARD At ‘Judgment Day’ Listening Party In Nashville.“

Their article covers the recent listening party and related Vincent history from his days with Kiss to the Vinnie Vincent Invasion and beyond but the headline was clear to note Vincent introduced a new singer.

Board himself even blogged about the event on his official Facebook.

Board is the lead vocalist for the group No Love Lost (Kivel Records) and he also sings with an 80’s tribute called Bad Romeo.

Vincent ended his original post on May 23rd 2023 with: “For me.. the best time I’ve had playing with a singer I’ve had since Rob and i cut the VVI #1 BOYZ ARE GONNA ROCK record. And JUDGEMENT DAY. HEY SCOTT… YOU DA MAN!!! MY FRIEND.. here’s to us!!! I raise my glass to YOU. And it’s only the beginning my friend. VINNIE VINCENT (guitar emoji , musical note emoji)”

Now it seems, less than a week later, there has been a retraction of sorts from Vincent.

Just days removed from announcing Board as his new singer. Vincent took to social media today (May 29th 2023) to make yet another announcement.

This time Vincent writes: “Regarding the statement of a new singer.

Vinnie has not officially chosen a singer at this point, and has decided to keep looking.

Any affirmative wording regarding a vocalist is misconstrued.

Anyone claiming that prized position is incorrect and should immediately cease from promoting that belief and narrative to others.

VINNIE VINCENT”

In addition to the retraction, Vincent says he is now looking for a singer.

In a follow-up message today, Vincent writes: “I’m auditioning singers for a new tour and record.”

“To audition”: Send a link in the comments sections to your vocal recordings and if you are chosen, management will contact you. Rock it! VINNIE VINCENT.”
