Both 'it' and 'he' will work just fine. Could it/he be the man who played with the band 10 years ago? You don't need 'had'.
- Both 'it' and 'he' will work just fine.
- Could it/he be the man who played with the band 10 years ago?
- You don't need 'had'.
- You've already got '10 years ago', which measures time from the moment you are speaking.
