Face Of The Band disambig'd per TRS. Don't link it anywhere.


* FaceOfTheBand: Scott Weiland. When Weiland was fired from the band in 2013, many of the band's fans hastily proclaimed that STP was ending (which, according to Weiland, was not the case, as he claimed his "firing" was nothing more than a hoax to increase band publicity. The band's then-current line-up claimed otherwise). It got worse after Weiland's death in 2015, when the band announced plans to find a new lead singer.

** A lot of STP's songs deal with Weiland's struggles with drug addiction, such as "Vasoline" and "Interstate Love Song." Of particular note is a line from "Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart" where he says "One more trip and I'll be gone." Weiland was found dead of an accidental drug overdose.
