Simply recording and releasing a new STP album may not be all that simple, and not just because Scott Weiland is a troublemaker. Atlantic Records sued Weiland and drummer Eric Kretz in 2008, asserting that half of STP is still under contract. The band’s other half, the DeLeo brothers, were released in 2003. STP can’t put out new music until this legal matter is settled.
* Morrissey collapsed on-stage one song into a Swindon, England concert last weekend (at least he made that one song count – “This Charming Man”), and spent the night hospitalized. While Moz has canceled many shows over the past few years due to various health issues, he vows to continue his current tour.
