Scott Weiland to Tour After Guitarist’s Death
Last week, on the eve of releasing their debut album Blaster, Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts 
guitarist Jeremy Brown passed away. While the band is currently grieving, it’s been confirmed that the planned US tour in May will go on as planned.
“Unfortunately, due to our guitar player Jeremy Brown’s passing, this week’s show in London will be postponed until September 3rd,” reads a statement posted on Weiland’s official Facebook page. “We will be coming back to play a full UK and European tour at that time. Your current tickets will be good for the show on September 3rd at the garage, and thank you to all of our fans for understanding while we grieve and take next steps to be back for the US tour in May.”
Currently, Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts have five shows in the US scheduled for the end of April, which we assume are also still going ahead.
Thus far, it is unclear as to who the new guitarist will be.
“I am in shock right now, everyone that knows [Brown] is devastated,” said Weiland last week. “It is a terrible loss that goes beyond words. He is one of my best friends, a truest friend and one of the most gifted guitar players that I’ve ever known. A true genius. It’s impossible to explain how much he will be missed and what a hole this will leave in our hearts. A post on Facebook feels so trite and small compared to the love that I have for him and for the talent that has passed on but I felt it was necessary to at least start here. Please keep his family in your thoughts.”
