Many expressed shock and called for prayers for the Weiland family. In response to the jarring loss, celebrities, fans and former band mates took to social media to commemorate Weiland, who fronted a number of bands over his nearly three-decade-long career - most famously, the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath, who collaborated with Weiland as part of the short-lived band Wondergirls, tweeted, "Woke up from a deep sleep in NY with too many messages on my phone. Mark Lanegan’s wife and musical collaborator Shelley Brien was at her husband’s side when the singer died in Ireland at the age of 57 on February 22. With deep sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go." "Together, we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories. The memories are many, and they run deep for us. We know amidst the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again. It’s what made you who you were. You were gifted beyond words, Scott. Part of that gift was part of your curse. On the one-year anniversary of Scott Weiland‘s death, the surviving members of Stone Temple Pilots penned a remembrance of their late lead singer. "Thank you for sharing your life with us," they said in a Facebook post. Weiland died Thursday while on tour with his current band, the Wildabouts. The surviving members of Stone Temple Pilots (brothers Rob and Dean DeLeo and Eric Kretz), posted a somber tribute to their late bandmate, Scott Weiland, on Friday.
