In addition, Jettblack frontman, Will Stapleton, has joined the cast of Jeff Wayne’s musical version of ‘The War of The Worlds – Alive On Stage!’ for The New Generation Arena Tour, performing the role of The Voice Of Humanity.
Says Will: “It’s an honour to even be considered for a role like this, let alone getting the part. I can’t wait to put my own stamp on the character of The Voice Of Humanity, whose track, ‘Thunder Child,’ is the climatic song that ends Act 1. I’m raring to get onstage!”
