Pop Idol Finalist Darius Danesh Joins Cast of Chicago in the West End
Pop Idol finalist Darius Danesh will be the next Billy Flynn in the West End production of Chicago. He is set to join the cast on November 21.
Danesh first came to public attention when he appeared on ITV's Popstars--a reality program in which contestants competed for one of five slots in a band--in 2001. He made it to the final round but did not get selected. He then appeared in Pop Idol, a talent-search for a solo artist; he came in third in the competition. Danesh parlayed his fame into a recording career. He has since released the solo albums Dive In and Live Twice, scored a number one hit with the song "Colourblind" and toured as a solo act.
