Alter Bridge frontman Strives To Be Role Model, Not Hero

(Classic Rock) Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy doesn't think musicians can be heroes - although they should strive to be good role models. He believes his band have delivered an essential element of honesty in upcoming album The Last Hero, and he hopes it inspires others to do the same.

Kennedy tells My Global Mind: "I don't consider musicians or songwriters heroes. That's a term for someone more special. As far as trying to be a positive role model or hopefully inspiring people in some way, I don't take that lightly and try to do the best I can. You can never phone it in because you've been given a gift and an opportunity - not only create music but perform it all over the world.

"There's a responsibility to not let people down and be the best you can. Hopefully, the people listening will pay it forward if they're inspired - continue that musical passing of the torch." Read more here.
