**March 9 UPDATE: The label has released an official statement on Michael joining the Newsboys. Please read it HERE.

Rumors have been flying online since Michael Tait filled in for Peter Furler at a recent Newsboys show and announced that he'd be taking over for the longtime NB vocalist. Today, Dale Bray, Inpop Records President confirmed the rumors are true on the Newsboys message board. More details to follow...

"HI

I work at Inpop Records and want to give you a brief update on what is happening.

First of all there is nothing wrong with Peter's health. Everything that was said on stage last night was correct.

Peter, the bands' management and Inpop will have an official announcement hopefully this week. No one has been withholding information from the public, we just need a few more days to confirm the details, especially on an issue this important to all of us. Please know that we all want to send out the correct and accurate information ASAP.

Lastly I can confirm that the New album releasing on May 5th is 100% Peter Furler as lead vocalists on this entire recording.

Warm Regards,
Dale Bray
Inpop President"
