January 25, 2008, 16 years ago
Billboard.com has issued the following report from John Benson:
After VELVET REVOLVER wraps a spring tour in support of its second album, Libertad, frontman Scott Weiland will rejoin his former bandmates in STONE TEMPLE PILOTS for a handful of summer reunion shows, guitarist Slash tells Billboard.com.
STP broke up in late 2002; the band's last album was the previous year's Shangri-La Dee Da. No other details have yet been revealed about STP's plans.
In the meantime, Weiland and his Velvet Revolver bandmates are still plugging away in support of Libertad with dates that run through early April. There's also the hope that recording for album number three could begin in the spring.
"I don't think anybody knew the second one came out," Slash admits. "We didn't promote it, for one. The first record I remember going out for three weeks on the road and just promoting, with (bassist) Duff (McKagan) and myself going to Europe, Japan and the States.
