Weiland is out of Velvet Revolver

Velvet Revolver have parted company with singer Scott Weiland.
In a statement, guitarist Slash said: "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either."
He continued: "Among other things, his increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on."
Billboard reports that relations between the parties had become strained in recent weeks.
Velvet Revolver played two nights at Dublin's Ambassador Theatre last month.
Stone Temple Pilots, the band with which Weiland found fame, are due to announce a reunion tour in the US next week.
