UPDATE:

And now a message from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS:

Original story:

Scott Stapp new lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots? In a recent interview he all but confirmed that he’s joining Stone Temple Pilots. When asked directly if he’s replacing Scott Weiland in STP, he would ‘neither confirm nor deny’.

His quote: “I’m excited to be back out on the road also been working on a new album with a new group of guys. Guys from some pretty well-known rock bands that you guys will know. I can’t really share the details about it but there’s a lot of good things going on that I can’t tell you till later in June when we’ll be making the announcement….This other band I’m jamming with is its own band with its own band name.
