Scott Weiland has been fired from Stone Temple Pilots, according to Slash.
In a new interview with Minneapolis/St. Paul radio station 93X, Slash was asked about Weiland's recent comments that he was "completely open" to reuniting with Velvet Revolver.
"That's because he got fired from STP," said Slash, adding, "I think, all things considered, because these things always catch me by surprise, too, because I only find out about it through the media. I'm on the road in another country and I start hearing all this stuff, so I inquire within, and that's what I was told."
The two rockers were previously together in Velvet Revolver, with Weiland splitting in 2008 to reunite with STP.
To date, there’s been no official announcement from STP regarding Weiland’s status with the group.
