Stone Temple Pilots’s frontman Scott Weiland has experienced a mild seizure on a commercial flight that resulted in the plane having to make an emergency landing at Dallas Fort Worth airport.

Flying from Los Angeles to Miami, flight staff had to call for medical assistance over the loud speaker and oxygen was administered onboard, reports Rolling Stone.

Flying with his Scott Weiland Band, the singer had reportedly come round and was in good spirits as he was taken to hospital.

Weiland – who recently finished a string of North American dates with Stone Temple Pilots – was travelling to Miami for a performance and to launch his clothing line Weiland for English Laundry at the club Mansion.

A representative who was flying with Weiland, told Rolling Stone that the singer has a history of seizures, but is now “Doing great” and expects to appear at the club in Miami as scheduled.

Stone Temple Pilots left fans in Florida fuming on Friday night after reportedly failing to show up for a concert.

The band claimed the gig at Tampa Bay’s Ford Amphitheater was affected by storms striking the state. But many of the 6,500 fans packed into the venue claim the storms never came close to Tampa Bay, and reveal they were told by organizers that the rockers didn’t arrive to perform.

One disappointed concertgoer tells Blabbermouth.net, “The storms they were attempting to lay blame on were in North Florida and were not impacting Central Florida or South Florida where they had played in Hollywood, Florida two days prior. They did cancel a show in Orlando on Tuesday evening which I completely understood and people were informed ahead of time due a tropical storm in the area.”

The incident comes amid rumors frontman Scott Weiland – who only reunited with the band in April – is losing his longterm battle with drug addiction.

Fans claim he appeared incoherent and stumbled onstage during a performance in Phoenix, Arizona on July 30th.

The group split in the 1990s because of Weiland’s heroin addiction; and he spent time in rehab earlier this year, before being fired from supergroup Velvet Revolver after rowing with bandmates.

Scott Weiland has begun his eight-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to drink driving charges.

Reports suggest the singer checked himself into a California jail yesterday.

Weiland was given until May 28th to complete 192 hours behind bars, but the rocker chose to start his jail time early so he could tour with the newly-reformed Stone Temple Pilots from May 17th.

The singer pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction last month.

He checked in at 8:55 a.m. and was released at 6:54 p.m., last night.

Scott Weiland has just been sentenced to 192 hours in county jail for his November DUI arrest. This is Weiland’s second DUI offense. He has until May 28 to serve the sentence.

Scott, who was not present in court today, entered a no contest plea through his attorney, Anthony Brooklier. The former Velvet Revolver singer was also ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol program and pay almost $2,000 in fines. He will be put on a four-year summary probation.

Weiland was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction, and with an allegation that he refused a chemical test as required by law. We are told he was over the legal limit of .08%, but not by much.

According to the police report, he failed the field sobriety tests and refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked for DUI and released on $40,000 bail.

“Scott Weiland was recently involved in a minor accident in Los Angeles and denies he was driving under the influence. He voluntarily took a Breathalyzer test which the defense believes registers well within the legal limit. He is anxious to get to court on December 13 and clear
this matter up.”

What do you think?

Weiland, 40, who has long battled substance abuse, was arrested after crashing his car and failing sobriety tests on Nov. 11 in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, the California Highway Patrol said in a statement. No one was injured in the accident.

The musician was booked at the Van Nuys jail and refused to take a blood or urine test, according to the CHP. He posted $40,000 bail and is due in court on Dec. 13.

The singer has yet to be formally charged by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.

The former Stone Temple Pilots singer has run afoul of the law numerous times over the years. He was jailed for drug offenses in the 1990s and was arrested on domestic-violence charges in 2001.

Earlier this year, Weiland’s wife Mary was arrested and booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism after allegedly setting fire to some of her husband’s clothes.

In July, Weiland claimed he was past his troubles, saying, “There’s definitely a Cleaver sense about our household.”
