娱乐英语新闻:Ex-Stone Temple Pilots frontman Weiland dies at 48
BEIJING, Dec.5 (Xinhuanet) -- Scott Weiland, the former frontman for the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, has died. He was 48.
The singer's manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed the news, but didn't provide further details. He simply referred people to a statement on Weiland's Facebook page.
The statement said Weiland, who was dogged by substance abuse problems throughout his career, passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota.
The singer rose to fame as the frontman of the Grammy Award-winning Stone Temple Pilots, whose hits include "Interstate Love Song," "Plush," and "Vasoline."
The band broke up in 2003 and Weiland went on to front Velvet Revolver, the supergroup that featured former members of Guns N' Roses, including guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan. Among that group's hits was "Fall to Pieces."
The Stone Temple Pilots eventually reunited in 2008.
But the group split again in 2013.
