Scott Richard Weiland (October 27, 1967 – December 3, 2015) was an American singer and songwriter. Weiland was the lead singer of the rock band Stone Temple Pilots from 1989 to 2002 and 2008 to 2013, recording six albums with them.
He was also lead vocalist of Velvet Revolver from 2003 to 2008, recording two albums, Contraband and Libertad, and recorded another with Art of Anarchy. Weiland established himself as a solo artist as well. Weiland was known for his flamboyant and chaotic onstage persona; constantly changing his appearance and vocal style, for his use of a megaphone in concerts for vocal effect, and for his battles with substance abuse.
Now widely viewed as a talented and versatile vocalist, Weiland has been ranked No. 57 in the Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists by Hit Parader. In 2012, Weiland formed the backing band the Wildabouts. The band received mixed reviews. In December 2015, Weiland died of an accidental drug overdose on his tour bus in Minnesota at the age of 48.
Upon his death, many critics and peers offered re-evaluations of Weiland‘s life and career; those critics included David Fricke of Rolling Stone and Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, who identified Weiland as one of the “voices of the generation” alongside Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and Chris Cornell.
