Scott Weiland. Another beautiful human being lost after years of substance abuse.

"The first time Mike went to rehab, around '94 I guess, Scott checked into the same place. Mike had been there for a few weeks already, so he was asked to be Scott's "buddy", to show him around & help him get comfortable there. I still remember the look on Mike's face when he told me that he was helping Scott. He liked that he was able to help a fellow rocker, and had a sense of pride to be sober at that time. They became instant friends & that friendship carried on throughout the rest of their lives. I like to think Mike is reprising his "buddy" role, greeting him at the gates & welcoming Scott to his beautiful new adventure. Our thoughts, prayers & hearts are with his family & loved ones today. XOXO SCOTT WEILAND XOXO gone way too soon, but never forgotten!" - Melinda Starr (Mike Starr's Sister)

wasn't ready to wake up to the news that we lost a rock legend last night and wasn't ready for it to be Scott Weiland. I grew up knowing every STP song by heart and having the Contraband album by Velvet Revolver in the car for every road trip. blessed I got to see you in concert but can't believe that just last night I got Purple in mail and how I was going on and on about how it's my favorite album in the world as I had it on repeat. can't believe this happened to my favorite at 48 :( I love you tho #ripscottweiland
