Scott Weiland Biopic in the Works

Many years ago, I read “Fall to Pieces” because I wanted to know what would push a woman so far as to send her then husband’s expensive wardrobe up in flames. I was astounded by the stories shared by Mary Forsberg Weiland, the second ex-wife of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman, Scott Weiland.

There is now movie in the works about Scott’s life, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film will be adapted from the book “Not Dead & Not for Sale” and will tell the tale of the rockstar’s life that was cut short by an accidental drug overdose in 2015 at the age of 48.

Stone Temple Pilots debut album, Core, plunged the San Diego based band into the musical mainstream spotlight with its release in 1992. Weiland’s lyrics filled the band’s emotionally charged songs until 2002, when he was recruited to join Velvet Revolver and smash out two albums before breaking up in 2008.

Weiland re-joined Stone Temple Pilots in 2008 but was fired from the band in 2013.

Stone Temple Pilots was one of the most successful bands of the 90s. Scott Weiland received a tribute from Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, posthumously, calling him “One of the greatest voices of their generation.”
