Police have reportedly found drugs on the tour bus of late rockstar Scott Weiland. The former Stone Temple Pilots frontman died last Thursday night, aged 48. Though the cause of death is unknown, Weiland had previously battled addictions to alcohol and drugs.
According to TMZ, an obtained copy of a police search warrant reveals at least two bags of cocaine were discovered on the vehicle.
The search, which took place in Minnesota, also found Xanax, two brands of sleeping pills, a synthetic opiate painkiller, a green leafy substance and Viagra. Police also seized Ziprasidone, used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Weiland was diagnosed as bipolar in 2001.
The frontman was fired from Stone Temple Pilots in 2013, after nearly 30 years with the band. He had been touring with new band, The Wildabouts, when his body was found on the tour bus. Bass player, Tommy Black, was arrested possession of cocaine following Weiland’s death.
Meanwhile, Weiland’s ex-wife has spoken about his history of substance abuse in a frank open letter for Rolling Stone magazine. She urged fans not to “glorify this tragedy,” while also paying tribute to her former husband’s amazing talent.
