The 45-year-old has dealt with drug addiction, run-ins with the law and two failed marriages. Weiland was also in the supergroup Velvet Revolver with Slash and other musicians. Their hits include "Vasoline," ''Interstate Love Song" and "Plush," which won a Grammy in 1993 for best hard rock performance with vocal. Stone Temple Pilots' 1992 debut, "Core," has sold more than 8 million units in the United States. Weiland said he's focusing on his solo tour, which kicks off Friday in Flint, Mich. The statement by the band said: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland." No other information was provided. "Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out." "I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press," he wrote in a statement.

Stone Temple Pilots appear to be firing on all cylinders and will embark on a North American Tour following the release of the new LP. "In the writing process, we were still getting to know each other," he continued. And they’re very, very good," Gutt said asked about recording the new LP with his new bandmates. "It’s the most rewarding record I’ve ever been a part of because it came together so organically. Once the group felt confident in their pick with Gutt, it was time to hit the studio and the new recruit had some big shoes to fill. Even though seeing them in person for the first time was a little strange." "I was pretty much comfortable with them from the first time they came up to me to say, “Hello”. While joining a group of such accomplished musicians may be overwhelming, Gutt recounted how his new bandmates brought him into the fold. That’s when I started singing instead of being the guitar player," he said. "While I have many influences, I was 16 when Core came out.

The 41-year-old Michigan native also credited Stone Temple Pilots with inspiring him to be a vocalist. Things like that take time and are important."

"It was just as much about relationships as what I can bring to the table. It was a process of us becoming comfortable with each other and getting to know each other," he continued. "I was incredibly proud and honored that they chose and trusted in me," Gutt told iHeartRadio when asked how he felt when he first got the call to audition. Gutt, who is known for his appearances on Fox's The X-Factor, where the singer finished in second place in 2013, was not part of STP's original auditions for a new singer and was instead recommended to bassist Robert DeLeo.
