past, present and future

im trying to see how many connections with former groups a singer has had, (ie, playing in one, forming another and maybe managing today)

david grohl of foo fighters started as the drummer in nirvana. Has a good roll in the foo fighters (lead singer,guitarist) and also does drums for the queens of the stone age. Maybe some more in the future.

I think you've got to be looking at someone like Norman Cook (a.k.a. Fatboy Slim) for a lot of connections...

The Housemartins - Norman Cook - Beats International - Freakpower - Pizzaman - Fatboy Slim

Some of the Italian producers (behind the likes of Black Box) also have a lot of credits. Queen would also be a fair shout - all but John Deacon had solo success and Roger Taylor produced Jimmy Nail's first hit "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" in 1986
