X-T. Rex (previously Bill Legend's T. Rex) are a band formed in 2014 by former T. Rex member Bill Legend. They have completed a European tour and were expected to release an album.

History

In 2014 Bill Legend, the last surviving member of the classic 1970–1973 T. Rex lineup, went about putting a new band together to perform old T. Rex songs despite having signed a petition to attempt to stop Mickey Finn's T-Rex. from performing with the T. Rex name a few years earlier. He recruited lead vocalist Danny McCoy, lead guitarist Ross McEwen, keyboardist Lee Swindon and bassist Stuart McArthur to complete the lineup.[1] They have completed a tour of Europe and are expected to release an album titled Mover and the Groover despite T. Rex fans, including David Bowie being unhappy about a new album under a slightly different name to the original band.[2]
