Scott Weiland will start to serve his sentence for his DUI arrest. He will be out before Stone Temple Pilots kicks off their tour on May 17. This is good news for those idiots that thought Scott wouldn't show up to his performances. Remember, Scott Weiland has been performing drunk, high, or on probabtion longer than most of you have been alive. Lest have ye little faith?
 
In a message through the official MySpace site of Scott Weiland, the singer had this to say about his new solo record, (the followup to 12 Bar Blues).
 
"I felt the need to check in and let everyone know what the latest and greatest is...as you know, my original band, STP, have reunited and are gearing up for our 4 month tour of the U.S. this summer. I'm really excited to be back in cohoots with my old buddies and share that tingly feeling when we perform.

"I've been crazy busy since coming off tour and never get the chance to sleep in anymore! I have been working on my solo record, which will be a double album due for a November release. It's gonna be awesome, with many different musical influences like rock, punk, R&B as well as an eclectic blend that we've come up with over the years. Can't wait for everyone to hear it. I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography along with famed writer David Ritz, also due out toward the end of the year. It will be a collection of stories, experiences and lessons throughout my life. Definitely a good read.

"Well, I gotta hit the studio now. Ill do my best to check in every now and then. I want you to know, I ALWAYS appreciate the love and support and am excited to give you all a great tour."
