Chris Daughtry Is Doing Pretty Well For Himself

Daughtry is in the midst of a sold-out tour with guitarists Brian Craddock and Josh Steely, bassist Josh Paul and drummer Joey Barnes. When putting his band together, Daughtry focused immensely on the audition process to find musicians with just the right chemistry and hint of panache. Obviously, he hit the nail on the head.

The album's debut single "It's Not Over" has made its mark on the top of every major music industry chart, including Hot AC chart, the Top 40 Singles Chart and a No. 1 spot on the Adult Top 40 chart.

In addition, the single sold more than 800,000 copies and maintained a spot in the Top 10 Digital Songs chart.

"The tremendous radio and video support, the great crowds we get at our shows, the intensity of our online fans -- all of it -- is everything any artist could ever ask for," said Daughtry.

More photos of Chris Daughtry, and he talks about his fans, after the jump.

While he may have not totally enjoyed his "American Idol" experience, he does understand the value of his fans, and does greatly appreciate them.

"We see all these new faces every day at our shows, including great, great rock fans who make each performance an adventure," he said.

"I want all of our fans to know that every song we play is a thank you right back at each and every one of them for standing by us in such an awesome way."
