Lead Singer

-Also known as lead vocalist, they are known as the member of a band who sings the main vocal parts of a song. They may also play instruments, one or more.

Sometimes, the lead singer may be someone other than the lead vocalist, like in the cases of The Dave Clark Five or Fall Out Boy

-In other bands, like Led Zeppelin, Queen or Oasis, the lead guitarist or bassist may share the roles of lead singer.
