KNAC Radio out of Los Angeles, and now Billboard Magazine and other sources, are reporting that former STP frontman Scott Weiland, 48, has been found dead on his tour bus in Minnesota. Weiland and his latest band The Wildabouts were scheduled to perform in Medina, Minnesota this evening at the Medina Entertainment Center, whose web site shows tonight's show as cancelled.

The vocalist was known for fronting the bands Stone Temple Pilots, as well as the "Supergroup" Velvet Revolver, bands with which he saw his greatest success. His solo efforts proving less so, Weiland's problems with substance abuse, and his often contentious relationships with bandmates, the music press, and fans led him down a difficult path.
