TMZ reported that Weiland was found dead in his bus around 9 p.m. on Thursday mid-tour with his current act The Wildabouts. Despite the outlet’s claims that drugs were found on the bus, his wife Jamie debunked any sort of drug affiliation. He was 48-years-old.

Just a few weeks back, Weiland called into 104.7 WIOT for one of his final radio interviews to chat about a string of topics, including his relationship with his former STP bandmates. “I wouldn’t say we’re on good terms. I wouldn’t say we’re on bad terms. I just have’t communicated with them. I wish them the best on whatever it is they do.”
