[edit] BiographyChad Robert Turton, (also known as Chad Robert Kroeger) was born in Hanna, Alberta on November 15, 1974. Chad has an older half-brother named Mike Kroeger, who is Nickelback's bassist. [edit] CollaborationsChad Kroeger, along with Saliva vocalist Josey Scott, Theory of a Deadman guitarist Tyler Connolly and Our Lady Peace drummer Jeremy Taggart, performed the theme song titled "Hero" for the hit movie Spider-Man in 2002. Also in 2002, Kroeger wrote and sang on "Why Don't You & I" for Santana's Shaman. However, when Arista decided to release the song as a single in Summer 2003, Kroeger's label, Roadrunner, refused permission, citing concerns that Kroeger appearing on a "high-profile single" would compromise the excitement over Nickelback's fall 2003 release The Long Road. Kroeger is the one that recommended The Calling's Alex Band, another Arista artist, as a replacement for re-recording the single. The recording with Kroeger on vocals can easily be found on most peer-to-peer networks to this day.[2][3][4] In 2007, Chad Kroeger ended up working with Santana for a second time, when he co-wrote and recorded guitar and vocals parts for a new song meant to appear on the compilation album Ultimate Santana. The track is called "Into the Night" and was released as a single on October 2, 2007. The album Ultimate Santana was released in October. Besides working with Santana, Chad also recorded with Travis Tritt on his album The Storm where Tritt did a cover of Nickelback's "Should've Listened" track from The Long Road. Kroeger also wrote and played guitar on Bo Bice's You're Everything. Chad Kroeger, Eric Dill, Rune Westberg and Chris Daughtry wrote the debut single of Daughtry's new album.[5] The single, titled "No Surprise," was debuted on American Idol Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Kroeger also helped co-write another song from the album titled "Life After You." He and Brett James co-wrote Tim McGraw's 2009 single "It's a Business Doing Pleasure with You". Chad Kroeger's name is pronounced Krueger. Chad Kroeger is featured on the new Timbaland album Shock Value 2 with the song "Tomorrow In the Bottle", it will also feature Sebastian.
