Scott Weiland, of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, Dead at 48

Share

Scott Weiland is dead. He was 48. Reportedly his manager found him dead on his tour bus. Weiland rose to fame as lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots. He had many drug issues, and eventually left that group. He wound up in Velvet Revolver, but drugs plagued him.

Weiland had a wife and two sons, ages 13 and 15. What a shame. There was a moment when Stone Temple Pilots were huge. If Weiland hadn’t gone off the rails then STP would have gone on to bigger things. Condolences to his family and friends.

Who didn’t love this song? RIP Scott Weiland
