Scott Weiland's Son Was Kicked Out of a Band Because of His Drug Use
Okay, this is a little terrifying. We recently heard about a band called SUSPECT208. It's made up of the sons of famous rock stars.
Slash's son London Hudson plays drums, bass duties are handled by Tye Trujillo, the son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, and the singer is Noah Weiland . . . son of the late Scott Weiland.
Actually, the singer WAS Noah Weiland. The other guys had to kick him out of the band. Because of his DRUG USE. Yep.
They issued a statement saying, quote, "We were really close to him and it is the last thing we would've ever wanted to do, but it had to be done for his safety, as well as the longevity of the band . . .
"He was heading down a dark path of drug use that got in the way of our friendship as well as the band . . . We did as much as we could to help him."
They're looking for a new singer, and asking prospective candidates to send them a cover of LED ZEPPELIN's"Black Dog".
(Before you ask, the band does have a guitarist, but you've never heard of him, and HE doesn't have a famous dad.)
