AMERICAN IDOL’S ZOMBIE ROCK OPERA

Many viewers of the popular series American Idol were particularly impressed this season by Caleb Johnson, who became the first singer to win the competition by performing a number of hard rock and heavy metal classics. But as the performer prepares his first official solo album, it’s his future plans that really have zombie fans excited.

In a recent interview Johnson made a very brief comment to reporters about writing and producing a “zombie rock opera.” At first it seemed like an off-the-cuff remark, but Yahoo! quickly followed up with the singer and discovered that the project is a very real possibility!

“Hell yeah, I’d love to do a zombie rock opera!” said Johnson. And when asked about the plot of such an ambitious enterprise, the performer quickly responded “If I told you, it’d be so in-depth. I have something written out.”

With the success of recent Broadway musicals like Rock of Ages, and off-Broadway productions like Evil Dead: The Musical… the timing may be perfect for an epic zombie-themed rock show. Of course, only time will tell whether Caleb Johnson can bring the undead to life on stage. But we’ll be eagerly awaiting more details!

In the meantime, be sure to check out Johnson’s official website and Facebook pages for the latest news and updates. And take a look at the exclusive Yahoo! Music interview embedded below for the original comments on the singer’s plans for a zombie rock opera!
