I thought they were supposed to have a new lead singer by now? I haven't even seen much online as to what they are up to.
Supposedly they've found a new vocalist

I don't unterstand why they are trying to start new there was only one singer that made them them and he liked his dope more. It's one thing having Chester come in after firing Scott as a fuck you Scott it's another to pull a fucking Journey and recruit someone online. Oh well hopefully they have some luck with this it's gonna be pretty hard to top a prime Weiland.
To me it seems like the surviving members of STP are afraid to let STP die and start over.
They are in their 50's. Weiland was the youngest and he was 48 at the time of his death.There isn't a market for a new rock band composed of guy in their mid-40's. No record label would risk giving a deal to a band with that description. They're better off being STP with a new singer, I just don't think the Filipino guy has the pizzaz despite having the talent.
Weiland went downhill around 95 though.Whoever they recruit they won't be Weiland. His voice was a staple of that band IMO. RIP
They didn't need him any more to tour using the name. They had a settlement where Weiland got paid a ton of money and they got to tour under that name with another lead singer.They were all waiting for Scott to die so they could find another singer and tour. Now that he is dead, I have to imagine they're touring.
Scott Weiland was STP. Without him, they will just be any other band.
