Vocalist Scott Weiland died of a drug overdose on December 3rd, 2015 at the age of 48 while on a solo tour in the US. His Stone Temple Pilots posted the following tribute to their former frontman on the first anniversary of his death.

"Here we are. A year has passed since you've been gone.

We often think of you and are reminded of you daily with many memories. Then there is the music the four of us carved out allowing us to listen and feel how brilliant you are.

There was a time when we looked up to one another. Each of us wanting one another's approval.

The songs we wrote had to have complete impact on us in order for them to shine. When it did... it was unearthly. Perhaps you are in a place now to better describe it.

We miss you, Scott."
