Yeah, he’s out.

Says Slash in a press release issued Tuesday:

“This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn’t 100% committed to either. Among other things, his increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on.”

If this is an April Fool’s joke — and I don’t think it is — it’s a really stupid one.

Because, come on, you’d dump Scott Weiland, too. Heroin addicts are only cute for so long.

Velvet Revolver plans to replace Weiland with a new vocalist; they are not splitting up. Weiland will still be hitting the road with STP this summer.

Scott Weiland was formally charged today with driving under the influence of drugs and refusing a chemical test that is required by law.

Weiland faces a “maximum penalty of one year county jail and a $1,000 fine, and a minimum penalty eight days in jail,” in light of his prior conviction and refusal to take a drug test,” Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said in a statement.

Scott will be in court tomorrow for the arraignment.

Old alcoholic rockers getting DUIs is so boring.

How long until Miley Cyrus gets her drivers license?
