Scott Weiland Reflects on His Musical Legacy in Final Interview

A new report has revealed that detectives discovered cocaine in the bedroom of the tour bus where Scott Weilandwas found dead on Thursday night (December 3) in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Investigators say they also found a small amount of cocaine elsewhere in the bus and arrested a California man who was traveling with Weiland. Rocker Dave Navarro posted a statement on Twitter on Wednesday night: “Just learned our friend Scott Weiland has died”. But it was in 1992 when the world first heard that husky baritone on The Stone Temple Pilots’ debut, Grammy-winning album, Core. Scott’s former bandmates too expressed their grief and shock on the news of the singer’s death. His music with Stone Temple Pilots back in the mid-90s was iconic rock. Their tour came to an abrupt stop in Minnesota when Weiland was found dead at their Bloomington tour stop. Singer Ryan Adams tweeted, “Universe, please take care of him”, while filmmaker Judd Apatow said watching Weiland perform was “some of my favourite concerts of all time”.

Stone Temple Pilots reunited in 2008.

No further information about the cause of Weiland’s death is now available.

Mark Raskob, general manager at the Medina Entertainment Center, said Weiland’s show was canceled after fewer than 100 tickets had been sold for it in a venue with a capacity of about 1,800.

Black, 47, from Studio City, Calif., was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and is being held pending charges, police said in a statement.

Weiland’s wife of two years, Jamie, spoke out on Friday (04Dec15) to silence speculation suggesting an addiction to crack cocaine had contributed to his passing, insisting he had been clean for some time, telling TMZ.com, “He was the best he has ever been”.

He had battled substance abuse problems for years, but said he was sober.

Black was arrested and booked for 5th degree felony possession of drugs.
