We experienced a good chunk of life with Scott, and even in his darkest times, we all had hope and love for him. His artistry will live on, of that there is no doubt. Deepest condolences and sadness are for his children, Noah and Lucy. We all traveled around this world together on tour; our band, wives, and kids… and we grew to a big family that still remains to this day. It’s just so sad and brutal from any perspective.

Rest in peace, Scott.”

Stone Temple Pilots band members have written the following letter:

“Dear Scott,

Let us start by saying thank you for sharing your life with us.

Together we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories.

The memories are many, and they run deep for us.

We know admist the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again.

It’s what made you who you were.

You were gifted beyond words, Scott.

Part of that gift was part of your curse.

With deep sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go.

All of our love and respect.

We will miss you brother,

Robert, Eric, Dean”

  1. I was never much of a grunge fan other than STP and Alice In Chains…hopefully Scott is finally at peace. Deepest sympathy to his wife and children ! R.I.P.

  2. Very sad for the family, no child should lose a parent at this young age of their small lives. They deserved better, too bad Scott will not be there for them.
