Is everything alright with Velvet Revolver?

Velvet Revolver were forced to utilise guest vocals from their fans at their Sundance Film Festival show at Park City, Utah on Sunday night after frontman Scott Weiland failed to turn up.

According to PageSix.com, sources inside the VR camp said that "Weiland had missed his flight to Sundance. But that didn't stop his bandmates from literally asking the crowd if they wanted to have a go."

The troubled singer, who has a long-running and much publicised battle with drugs and alcohol, was in court last Thursday (January 17) relating to a driving under the influence charge form last November. And Sunday night's no-show incident has fuelled internet speculation that Weiland may have fallen off the wagon again.

Weiland is due to rejoin Velvet Revolver's current US tour in Chicago on January 24.

Scott Weiland

Spazzy? Oh that's mature. Maybe Sarah has a point. Axl Rose may be a prima-donna-up his own arsehole, but Scott Weiland is a liability. He's probably in the jail!

Too many bands nowadays crash because of the drug problem. Hope VR won't be one of them.

scott didnt go to court and he said this on the VR site:
"I truly apologize on behalf of the band for our inability to perform at the scheduled party during the Sundance Film Festival. I performed the previous night in Miami in support of the "A-Rod Family Foundation", and afterwards a jet was arranged to fly myself and a couple of the crew members to the festival, where I was looking forward to performing. Not only was I hoping to ROCK, but I also wanted to snowboard AND have some well...good and clean fun! Seriously, though...I even already had my "one piece" long johns on (no shit!!). Now...the problem was that the pilot of the private jet would not...I mean absolutely would NOT fly us to Park City due to the low visibility and poor weather conditions. We did everything in our power to make it happen. At last minute, Matt tried to hook up a flight from L.A. to Park City, but the owner of the plane could not find a crew in time.

I'm sorry...we all are. Who knows...maybe this happened for a reason.

-SW"
