Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has spoken out against rumours he’s been lip-syncing to backing tapes on tour.
The allegations surfaced when he fell off stage in Chicago last week, appearing to land with enough force to drop his mic and a megaphone he was using, but managing to continue the song without any kind of interruption.
During an STP concert in Pensylvania at the weekend, Weiland stopped the show to tell the crowd:
"I would like to dispel a rumour that’s sung its way around the interwebs, that I am not singing these songs that I wrote.
"There has never been a time in the 25-plus years I’ve been singing with these guys, a combination of these guys, or with other musicians, that I’ve not sung.
"It’s a bullshit claim, like so many other bullshit claims, which is the problem with modern technology – there are so many great things about it, but that is such a travesty.
"We are a rock’n’roll band. Rock’n’roll bands perform live."
Thanks for the report to RockRadio.
