Scott Weiland has apologised for being a 'total asshole' at a meet and greet with fans in Boston.
Weiland was performing with his band The Wildabouts, with some fans forking out $150 for the privilege of meeting the singer. After being handed a pre-signed poster, it was one fan’s turn to take a picture with what he said was a clearly inebriated Weiland.
“Scott didn’t even look at me when I was talking to him,” the fan wrote on the Stone Temple Pilots fan forum BelowEmpty, reported by Consequence of Sound: “he put his arm around me and literally said, ‘Lets get this shit done with…’ Always treat your fans with respect; I have always defended Scott and now it made me second guess myself.”
Another fan was apparently told not to even tell Weiland about his STP tattoos or ask for a signature to be turned into an autograph. “I walk up and tell Scott something along the lines of, ‘I just wanted to tell you I have been a fan for 20 years.’ Scott then interrupts me and says something like, ‘OK hurry up I don’t want to hear it.'” Yet another fan relayed that all Weiland said to him was, “Let’s suck a dick!”
Weiland, issuing an apology via his Facebook page, blamed the incident on exhaustion and accurately described himself as a 'total asshole'.
Scott Weiland was recently in the news when it was revealed that the Scott Weiland supergroup would tour without Scott Weiland.
