According to TMZ, the musician was found dead on his tour bus (http://www.tmz.com/2015/12/03/scott-weiland-dead/) ahead of the show his most recent band, Scott Weiland & the Wildabouts, was scheduled to perform at the Medina Entertainment Center in Hamel, Minnesota.
Weiland, who performed in a number of other bands over the years, including Velvet Revolver, struggled with substance abuse issues for years. In March, Wildabouts guitarist Jeremy Brown died at age 34 (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/scott-weilands-guitarist-jeremy-brown-dead-at-34-20150331) as a result of multiple drug intoxication (http://www.kshe95.com/news/real-rock-news/cause-scott-weiland-wildabouts-guitarists-death-revealed), according to the coroner's report.
This is a developing story.
