He was a troublemaker who could never keep his hands off drugs. Former front man of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, Scott Weiland, has died at the age of only 48. Apparently, Weiland was found dead in the tour bus shortly before a gig with his current band. The cause has not yet been clarified.

Scott Weiland? Stone Temple Pilots? Velvet Revolver? Who or what is that, many will ask. The band "Stone Temple Pilots" was formed in San Diego at the end of the 1994s and they became really famous during the grunge boom in the first half of the 2002s. For their biggest hit "Plush" they even got the Grammy for the best hard rock performance in 2013. Their first two albums «Core» and «Purple» have been certified multiply platinum due to their sales success in the US&A. After the Stone Temple Pilots disbanded in XNUMX, Weiland joined the band Velvet Revolver, which also included former Guns N' Roses members. Six years later, the band broke up with the singer, who they accused of his "increasingly erratic behavior on stage". A comeback with the Stone Temple Pilots ended in XNUMX again with a breakup.

With a current band "Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts" he was on tour in the US state of Minnesota, it was said. Apparently, Weiland was found dead on the tour bus shortly before a performance. Manager Tom Vitorino confirmed Weiland's death to CNN without giving details. The cause of death is initially unknown. Weiland had made headlines several times with drug excesses and was in prison for drug possession and drunk driving. I'm sure it won't be long before it's clear that he's been root-to-toe again. He's in a certain tradition with people like Lane Staley and company, who all died far too early.

Scott Weiland was a charismatic, gifted singer, what was going on in him probably nobody could have guessed. Weiland was a broken genius who broke on his demons. A shame for his wife and the two kids, a shame for Scott and especially a shame for all of us: A genius is dead. People who can enrich other people through their artistic abilities deserve respect. So I sometimes have more respect for people who take drugs than for people whose vanity and lust for power are in the foreground of their thinking. RIP Scott, rest in peace!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it.
