Carpenter Plots Comeback With A New Karen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-17-2008, 11:36 AM

The Carpenters star Richard Carpenter is looking to make a chart comeback 25 years after the death of his sister Karen - and he wants another singer to fill her spot.

Carpenter staged a press conference in Tokyo, Japan on his 62nd birthday to announce his plans for a 2009 tribute album, a Christmas album and new material.

And he revealed he's looking to record a new album with a new singer - because he still writes his tunes as duets.

Karen Carpenter died in 1983, aged 32, following complications from an eating disorder.
