Mystery unveil new singer

Mystery have released a video shot during new singer Jean Pageau's second rehearsal with the Canadian outfit.

The band launched a singer search after David, who was a member of Yes from 2008 to 2012, decided to bow out after 15 years at the mic. They confirmed Pageau in the role last month.

Mainman Michel St-Pere said at the time: “As things seemed to speed up for Mystery we had to slow down, take a pause and see where we were going. Jean is a great singer and we’re very excited to be making new music together.”

Now the band report: “After a long and hard search, Mystery believes the fans will enjoy the new voice of the Mysterons. Writing for a new studio album has begun and the band is preparing for a European tour that will take place in September.”

Meanwhile, Mystery will release a live album in the autumn, recorded last year and featuring one of David’s final performances.

Jean Pageau in action with Mystery

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
