Kematian Scott menyisakan banyak simpati dari musisi dunia, salah satunya adalah matan drummer MEGADETH Nick Menza.
“I’m truly saddened to read that Scott Weiland has passed. I toured with Scott for a month and a half in early March of 1993. STP was the support act for MEGADETH at that time. I use to go and sing ZEPPELIN songs during their sound checks almost every day, Weiland never did soundchecks. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and fans. R.I.P. Scott Weiland.” Tulisnya di Facebook.
Penyebab kematiannya masih belum dipublikasikan untuk menghormati keluarga yang ditinggalkan. 04/12.
“Scott Weiland, best known as the lead singer for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and VA posting on Scott Weiland’s Facebook page reads: “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. At this time we ask that the privacy of Scott’s family be respected.” Kutipan di Fanspage Scott Weiland.
Fakta
Weiland pernah terlibat dalam penggunaan obat-obatan terlarang. Ia telah ditangkap pada tahun 1995 karena kokkain dan dua tahun berikutnya karena heroin. Di tahun 1999 ia dikurung dalam penjara setelah melakukan tindak pidana. Dan terakhir di tahun 2007, ia direhap kembali di DUI.
Stone Temple Pilots memecat Weiland pada Februari 2013 setelah reunit tahun 2010. Band tersebut hiatus sejak 2002. Pemecatan disebabkan karena ia pecandu berat alkohol dan drug. Kemudian STP merekrut Chester Bennington dari LINKIN PARK dan merilis satu EP, “High Rise”.
Setahun yang lalu, seorang wartawan asal Canada pernah menanyakan padanya apakah ia kembali lagi menjadi ‘demons’ saat bergabung dengan band THE WILDABOUTS.
“Past demons are past demons; that’s stuff that I dealt with 14 years ago,” he said. “I mean, I guess Keith Richards [of THE ROLLING STONES] gets asked about [his past drug use], so why shouldn’t I? But it’s not something that I think about, ever. Those days of my dope abuse, and use, are long since by me.” Kata Weiland.
