Stone Temple Pilots Postpone Last 4 Shows On US Tour

Stone Temple Pilots have postponed the last four dates of their summer tour after front-man Scott Weiland was diagnosed with inflamed vocal cords. According to their official Facebook page, they were scheduled to perform tonight at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati, OH. But per Scott Weiland’s physician’s diagnosis, Scott was put on immediate vocal rest.

Dr. Sid Khosla, Director of the UC Health Voice Center in Cincinnati had this to say: “Today myself, Dr. Eva Van Leer and ENT Dr, Keith Casper consulted with Mr. Weiland. Upon a video stroboscopy we determined his left vocal chord has likely scarring and his right vocal chord is tremendously inflamed. With such a heavy concert schedule and vocal activity we determined that Mr. Weiland could potentially run the risk of a vocal hemmorage or suffer permanent damage hence putting him on complete vocal rest.”

STP apologizes to their fans and should have their remaining three shows rescheduled soon.  And of course, refunds are available at the point of purchase. The show in Concho, OK has already been rescheduled for November 5th.
