Scott Weiland, lead singer for the Stone Temple Pilots, was reportedly sentenced to eight days in jail on Monday for a DUI on November 21 which was confirmed by a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. Weiland pleaded no contest which is equivalent to a guilty plea in California to driving under the influence of alcohol, which is his second DUI conviction in nearly four years.

It's unclear how Weiland's sentencing might affect his reunion tour with Stone Temple Pilots, who played their first show together in nearly eight years earlier this month. The band is scheduled to begin a 65-date series of concerts in North America on May 17.

Oh well, perhaps some dates are going to have to be rescheduled. Sucks to be him, but it sounds like he needs to get a handle on his drinking problem.

I'm guessing that he probably hasn't made up with Slash yet after being dumped from Velvet Revolver.
