Stone Temple Pilots released a pretty to-the-point statement today:
“Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland.”
The rumors have been there but I’m still pretty surprised at how that carried it, being that Scott Weiland is pretty much the band (let’s not kid ourselves).
Anyways, Scott Weiland has responded to the news. From MTV:
“I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press,” Weiland said in a statement. “Not sure how I can be ‘terminated’ from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday.”
And there you have it. If you want to see Scott, well…..he’s touring solo.
