Scott Weiland, former frontman of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, has been found dead on his tour bus aged 48.
The news was confirmed via an Instagram post, which stated the singer "passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his band The Wildabouts" on 3 December - Weiland was due to go on stage that evening.
Weiland was best known for his work with Stone Temple Pilots in the 90s, before fronting rock supergroup Velvet Revolver with former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.
Stone Temple Pilots regrouped with the frontman for 2010's self-titled album, before parting ways once more in 2013, after which Weiland returned to recording and touring with his solo band, The Wildabouts and contributing vocals to Art Of Anarchy.
The cause of death has yet to be confirmed.
