Scott Weiland Passes Away

[WarMachine1]

Scott Weiland, best known as the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his band The Wildabouts. They were supposed to play the Medina Ballroom tonight, but the show was cancelled. A source connected to the band tells us Scott was found Thursday night on the bus around 9 PM -- presumably, shortly before the band was to go on.

Scott was 48.

I'm shocked and this is a huge loss to the music industry. His career dates back to the late 1980s, where he along with Robert DeLeo started a band called Mighty Joe Young, which eventually evolved into Stone Temple Pilots, and they were met with immediate success and became extremely popular when the album Core was released in 1992. Scott also released a series of solo albums, beginning with 12 Bar Blues in 1998 and his most recent solo album was the holiday album It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and most recently, The Wildabouts' album Blaster was released in March.
