Lead singers leaving their bands isn’t really news — but being fired by the rest of your bandmates? Oh, something went down.
Unfortunately, no one knows exactly the reason as to why Stone Temple Pilots’ lead singer Scott Weiland was just ousted from the group by the other members, but it is a bit strange considering he was the charge behind some of their biggest hits since the band got together in 1986.
The group released an ominously curt statement today, saying, ”Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland.” They don’t give any further explanation.
Weiland denied rumors he was leaving the band just yesterday, telling Rolling Stone, ”STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired.”
The group had reformed in 2008 after a five-year hiatus and toured throughout last year — which makes the news all the more strange.
Rumors began last month of the 45-year-old being kicked out, with legendary guitarist Slash saying he had been fired from the group.
A solo tour is planned to begin next month.
