Meet 'Superlungs,' the singer-songwriter with a voice so indomitable he literally said no to fronting legends Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. According to the article, his refusal to lead these rock giants made him a 'cult hero,' proving sometimes the loudest voice is the one that says no.

Either way, his story is a masterclass in turning big offers into legendary rejections.
