Scott Weiland, the American musician whose mercurial vocal style was a signature of the rock band he helped start, Stone Temple Pilots, and later Velvet Revolver, died on Thursday in Minnesota. He was 48.
His manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed the death. A statement posted to Mr. Weiland’s Facebook and Instagram pages said he “passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his band The Wildabouts.”

Lead man for one of my favourite bands of the 90s. At STPs peak it didn't look like Scott was likely to survive the 90s due to drug abuse. A sad story about a man who had huge success and talent but his demons got the best of him.
