(LiveDaily.com) Bouts of rehab and canceled tours riddled the headlines of 2007, most notably by one-time pop princess Britney Spears and British soul singer Amy Winehouse.

Both the Spice Girls and Van Halen extended their tours due to successful rounds of sold-out shows while others, like Blind Melon, replaced lost original members with talented newbies for another chance at stardom. A handful of artists--Audioslave's Chris Cornell, Staind frontman Aaron Lewis, Lonestar's Richie McDonald--took the plunge into solo status.
