“I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of.”
There’s trouble in Stone Temple Pilots land these days.
STP have postponed 12 dates on their current tour, with plans to resume things mid-October in Florida.
Without stating the reasons behind the unscheduled break, rumours are flying about singer Scott Weiland’s status following a series of strange events at the band’ Houston show on Sunday.
For starters, STP hit the stage late, about an hour after openers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; once they did, Weiland began the show with a rambling speech that had many wondering if he was in full control of his faculties.
"On the 8th of December will be the time when I stopped doing dope," Weiland started, trying to hush the crowd when it cheered. "No, no, no, no," he said. "I started drinking again. My brother died, I got divorced to my wife, and my whole world basically spun around. So you know what? I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of. Instead of just having a few shows, I want to have a whole hell of a lot of shows."
