Background on Scott Weiland's Transfer to Strict Lockdown Status:


Weiland, who was allowed out for several days last month, under police 
supervision, to complete his vocals for Velvet Revolver's debut album, 
is believed to have one more song left to record for the as-yet-untitled 
CD, tentatively due in late March/early April through RCA Records.

The album, which was produced by Josh Abraham (Limp Bizkit, Staind), 
is currently being mixed at a California studio by Andy Wallace, who 
has previously worked with Nirvana, White Zombie, Linkin Park, Slayer 
and Sepultura, among many others.

As previously reported, the former Stone Temple Pilots vocalist 
was scheduled to appear in court on December 3 on a DUI charge, 
but the hearing was moved to December 23. Weiland will enter a 
plea at that time to charges of driving under the influence of
 drugs. He was arrested on his birthday, October 27, after crashing 
his BMW into several parked cars on a Los Angeles street, then 
attempting to flee the scene.
