Judge Grants SCOTT WEILAND Permission To Tour Europe

August 4, 2004

VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland was granted permission to leave the country for the group's European tour when he appeared in a Pasadena, California court on Tuesday (August 3),according to MTV.com. In allowing the singer to travel overseas, the judge overseeing Weiland's probation from two felony charges of drug possession deemed his efforts to stay clean a success.

At his probation status hearing, Weiland received a certificate from Genesis, a nearby treatment facility, for completing a six-month program there, according to MTV.com. Pasadena Superior Court Commissioner Collette Serio also noted that all of Weiland's drug tests have come out negative. While VELVET REVOLVER tour Europe, the singer will have to continue periodic drug testing.

"The judge congratulated [Weiland] for complying with everything," Weiland spokesperson Mitch Schneider told MTV.com. "They were very happy with his participation in the [rehab] program, and that he had been so cooperative.

"The judge even congratulated him on his success with VELVET REVOLVER and apologized for the technicality," Schneider said, referring to a bench warrant issued on Friday and held until Tuesday to ensure Weiland's appearance in court. Schneider said the court had forgotten to take Weiland's scheduled appearance on Friday off the record once it had been moved to Tuesday. Read more.
