"Lead vocals for Slash’s touring band are handled by Myles Kennedy, who uses a Shure UHF-R® wireless system with Beta 58A® capsule. Backing vocals are hardwired SM58®s," states [this article](http://www.shure.com/americas/news-events/press-releases/slash-uses-shure-gear-on-tour).

In the following SOS article, Trent Reznor's engineer said: "The music just flows out of Trent like no one else I've ever known, even though he'll burn brilliantly and then have to play video games for the next eight hours. As with any great artist, there's a lot of procrastination, but while he's playing one of those games his brain is still working and at any moment he could come up with something fantastic. That's why we'd always have to be ready to roll. If he suddenly said, 'I want to sing,' I'd hand him a [Shure] Beta 58 and run it through a Neve and [Universal Audio] LA2A. I had it set up so he could grab a mic, I'd hit two buttons and off we'd go. Most of the time he'd hand-hold a 58, but every once in a while we'd record his vocal with [an AKG] 414 because it captured the natural sound of him in a room, which he really liked. "He recorded 'Closer' with a Beta 58, and for some tracks he'd have it on a mic stand and perform right there in front of the console. In fact, when he did the vocal for 'Ruiner', he was lifting the mic stand, slamming its base into the wood floor and chipping it, while on another occasion he got so carried away that he sheared the knobs off some [Lexicon] PCM42s. There were three PCM42s in a row and he took the feedback and modulation knobs off every one of them. I was thinking, 'Fuck!' However, when he performed, the emotion came out, and in the case of 'Piggy' he was under the console singing into the Beta 58.”

"I use a Shure Beta 58. I love the response that it gets. I was not using a wireless mic for a long time, because I didn't like what they did — they always seemed to cut the high end."

Philip Harvey, Lorde's Front of House Engineer for the Pure Heroine Tour, when asked about what kind of Mics she uses said: “She’s using a Shure Beta58. I love the SM58 as a go-to mic but I’ve never been a huge fan of the Beta58. But it suits her voice best." Along with finding the best Vocal mic for Lorde, they went through plenty of other great mics but the Shure Beta58 proved to fit her voice the best. “Very early on in the piece, after learning she didn’t have a ‘favourite’ mic, I lined up a bunch that had worked for me over the years on various artists. We tried the Telefunken M80, a mic I’ve had great success with; the Sennheiser MD431, another great vocal mic; and the Heil PR35… all brilliant mics. But none of them fit. And during a European promotion run prior to the tour — where we’d do TV and radio spots — Ella would keep wanting to return to the Beta58 and I had to agree; it provides the most open sound for her voice.”

Shure BETA 58A used for entire band's vocal until mid-2015. Hozier (himself) only changed his mic into Shure KSM8. But, other members still use Shure BETA58A. He again starts using BETA 58A for his vocal since late Feb 2016. You can see the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E1c5egsJu0

At 10:00, when Childish Gambino is asked about his favorite microphone, he says, "I like the Beta 58 because it just picks up everything...It picks up all of the high, really good. It's the only mic I trust, being able to sing and rap."
