Tonight Show taps Idol's Rickey Minor as band leader
Holley will serve as lead singer of the Tonight Show band starting June 7, joining fellow Idol alum Rickey Minor, a show rep tells TVGuide.com. Minor was tapped last month to replace the departing Kevin Eubanks as band leader.
A former backup singer for Michael Jackson, Holley was also the vocal director on the late star's This Is It tour and had rehearsed with Jackson hours before he died last June. Holley has coached Idol hopefuls since 2007.
