| Tom Cruise singing in Rock Of Ages |
Rockers Def Leppard approve of Tom Cruise in 'Rock of Ages', reports
Digital Spy. The actor plays rock band leader Stacee Jaxx in the musical, which
includes him singing a cover of the band's 'Pour Some Sugar on Me'. The British
band - consisting of lead singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, drummer Rick
Allen and guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell - revealed their surprise
at Cruise's singing ability when they visited the set."We were fortune
enough to check his filming out of that particular performance because we were
both in Florida at the same time," Savage told The AP. "We just had
to get there as he was shooting some of the scenes. That was special in itself,
just getting to meet the man. His voice was good. It was pretty surreal, actually,"
added Elliott. "We just walked into this little seedy club in Ft.
Lauderdale, and there up on stage is Stacee Jaxx doing 'Sugar'. It's like,
'What is this?' It's nuts." On Cruise's singing, Elliott added: "We
were talking to him between takes, and he was a little put out that we were
there at first, you know, 'Uh oh. The queen's in town!' He said, 'What do you
think?' I said, 'Can you sing?' He said, 'No, I started like four or five
months ago, just a couple of hours a day'. He had other movies he was shooting,
so it was like a part-time thing. I'm thinking, 'Wow. If he's got that good in
four or five months, that's much better than half the people on some of these
talent shows'." Def Leppard have also re-recorded their classics 'Rock of
Ages' and 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' in time for the film's release.
