SCOTT WEILAND To Fans: I'm No Choir Boy

December 13, 2007

According to TMZ.com, VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland, who was recently charged with driving under the influence of drugs, went on an on-stage rant last night at Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles about not believing everything you hear, and reminding everyone that VR is not the "Mormon Tabernacle F**king Choir."

Weiland was set to face a judge this morning in criminal court for his most recent DUI bust, but the case was continued until January 17.

He has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs with a prior conviction, and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by law.

Weiland faces a "maximum penalty of one year county jail and a $1,000 fine, and a minimum penalty eight days in jail," in light of his prior conviction and refusal to take a drug test, Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said in a statement. He added that Weiland's car could be impounded for no more than 30 days.

On November 21, the former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer was arrested, when he crashed his car while driving on an L.A. highway.
