Scott Weiland = Rehab....again

And the saga continues....

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received the following official statement from VELVET REVOLVER:

"Following VELVET REVOLVER's performance last night [Wednesday, February 6] in Los Angeles, lead singer Scott Weiland voluntarily entered a rehab facility. Tonight's San Diego show at the House of Blues has been postponed; the rescheduled date for San Diego is [to be announced]. VELVET REVOLVER deeply apologize to their fans and thank them for sticking by the group."

Weiland was arrested on November 21, 2007 when he crashed his car while driving on an L.A. highway.

He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs with a prior conviction, and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by law.

According to MTV.com, Weiland has been arrested multiple times over the past decade for a variety of drug offenses in California and New York, and has spent time in jail on several occasions. He was arrested in 2003 in Hollywood after a traffic accident and charged with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, though those charges were eventually dismissed after he successfully completed a drug rehab program and submitted to drug tests.

Weiland recently the Miami Herald to be on the lookout for a STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunion in the months ahead. The band members are reportedly on good terms again after their less than friendly break-up in 2002, and Weiland told The Pulse of Radio a while back that he wouldn't rule out getting back together. "I think that there is always that distinct possibility," he said. "I have to say it would never come in the way of VELVET REVOLVER, but I don't think that the story has been completely told. I'm unhappy with the ending of the story."

Although he was supposed to perform with VELVET REVOLVER on January 20 at a party in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival, Weiland was a no-show for the gig. The vocalist's flight to Utah was diverted because of bad weather. The band carried on with the show, inviting audience members and singer Donovan Leitch to pitch in.



Did I have tickets for tonight's House of Blues show in San Diego: yes

Have I been looking forward to this particular crunchy rock show for well over a month: yes

Was I looking forward to an up close dose of Duff: hell yes!

Is that really important now: no

Handle your business, Weiland.

    Damn. I just saw them last Thursday here in Austin. I hope he gets his shit together. He was missing some front teeth and had some story about being jumped by 3 guys while in Europe -- probably more likely it was 'meth mouth'.
  • Ah that fucking sucks. I sincerely hope he gets his shit together, when he's at the top of his game he's virtually untouchable. Just such a shame he can't leave the drugs alone. Dammit.
  • I hope he'll be ok...

  • What people don't know is that this is a record setting 17 trips to rehab for Weiland (most for any musical artist)

    It is such a shame. He just can't seem to get free of the demon. I saw STP once and Scott was so good. The guy has a lot to offer, but he just can't seem to get free. I hope he manages to get clean someday.

  • What is this, 1998?

    Someone smack that self-important fuckhead in the nuts and revoke his rockstar card.

    Maybe being forced to work for 6 bucks an hour at Blockbuster will humble the shithead a little bit.

    This is par for the course. Weiland says there will be an STP tour, and then he goes to rehab and the tour is canceled

    Weiland just thinks STP will take him back now that he fucked up his current circumstances. he's a asshole.
