If you’re one of the many people excited about an upcoming Stone Temple Pilots tour in 2017, you should keep your hopes in check. The band is denying a report yesterday (Nov 16) that claimed Jeffrey Adam Gutt as their new lead singer… A news report published yesterday claimed the X Factor season three runner up had been rehearsing with the band and that STP had picked Gutt as their permanent voice. Well it turns out the story was only half true, STP has been auditioning many singers, and the announcement of Gutt to be their singer is not true. A spokesperson for the band recently said, “The band has been rehearsing with several singers over the past few weeks, they haven’t made a decision yet.”
Guitarist Dean DeLeo told the press, “what we’re looking for is a pretty tall order, man. We’ve had the fortune of playing with some of the greatest and most talented singers out there. Robert, Eric and I know what we want, and, like I said earlier, when that person walks into a room, we’ll know.” Let’s hope for the best! I know it will not be the same, with the loss of Weiland things won’t fit the same…
