Band opens for testing

Stone Temple Pilots posted a statement on their official website saying that the band is looking for a new vocalist. The group's last vocalist, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, replaced Scott Weiland at the end of 2013 and left the band at the end of last year.

The band asks anyone interested to register on the official website .

Check out the statement and video that was posted:

"2016 marks a new year for Stone Temple Pilots… A year of hope, optimism and, most importantly, music!"

We are immensely proud of everything we've shared with you over the years. Music, music, music. We really want to keep doing this, but to continue we'll need a little help from all of you.

As you know, before the untimely death of our brother Scott, we were working with the incomparable Chester Bennington. What you should also know is that for Chester to be the frontman of two bands of this size and scope was too much for one man to handle, so unfortunately we had to start a new chapter. And that's where you come in…

We are officially announcing that we are looking for a new vocalist for Stone Temple Pilots. We have already heard from many talented people but we want to open up the opportunity for many more, so we have arranged a way to do just that.

If you think you have what it takes to be the frontman of the band, record with the band, and tour with the band, we'd love to hear from you.

No one will ever replace Scott. That was never the intention. The intention is for Stone Temple Pilots to continue growing and doing what they do… music!

We are eager to hear from you
