Turner Apologizes To Van Halen's Anthony For Supergroup Rumor

The story made headlines after Melodic Rock said former Rainbow frontman Turner and drummer Appice had started work on a musical project, and Chickenfoot bassist Anthony was involved.

Turner has dismissed the rumor as just that and states he didn't speak to the press or send out a news release on the subject. But he does admit they've discussed the possibility and that Anthony's name was mentioned.

A press statement says: "Turner and Appice would like to specifically apologise to Anthony and his fans for any confusion this rumour or any casual conversations might have caused."
