Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver dies - CNN.com

(CNN)Scott Weiland, whose extraordinary career as the lead singer of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver was overshadowed by his unending battle with drug addiction, has died.He was 48.

I know this pales in comparison to a lot of other events currently unfolding, but damn...I clearly remember first seeing STP on MTV and really liking what I heard. I saw them in concert in Philadelphia at the Mann Music Center and they were awesome.

Drugs, money, and fame are a very dangerous combination.
Sad to say I don't find this news shocking. he struggled with drugs for a very long time.
one day everything catches up to you.

RIP Scott Weiland.
 
Purple is one of my favorite albums from the 90's.

RIP
 
Scott Weiland's cause of death revealed - CNN.com


Singer Scott Weiland died of an accidental overdose of alcohol and drugs,


The toxicology test results indicate that his death was caused by a mixture of alcohol, cocaine and MDA, a drug similar to MDMA or ecstasy. Weiland's history of drug abuse was a contributing factor in his death, according to a news release from the medical examiner's office.

I doubt anyone is shocked.
