VIDEO: Scott Weiland kicks off west coast tour dates



Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland kicked off a short, west coast leg of his “Purple At The Core” solo tour at the House Of Blues in Hollywood on Wednesday.

Weiland is on the road with his band, The Wildabouts, as they play tracks from STP’s first two albums along with a mixture of solo cuts and covers from artists like David Bowie, The Doors and The Libertines.

This past week, Weiland was sued by his former bandmates, who fired the singer this past February.

The band claims Weiland sabotaged its 20th anniversary tour by being chronically late for performances and missing promotional gigs; they also claim in the lawsuit that Weiland wouldn't even communicate with band members, and that the singer’s plan was to "hijack" the tour.

The suit is the latest part of the unfolding story of Stone Temple Pilots, who recently began working with Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.
