Velvet Revolver to Part Ways With Singer
Tuesday April 1, 3:46 pm ET

Velvet Revolver founding members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner announced today that they are parting ways with singer Scott Weiland. "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either," said Slash. "Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on."

Thanks to FunkyMonkey to HTGTH.

(And "fires" might not really be the right word, for that matter)

Even thought we all knew it was happening, it's still something of a shock to see it written out all official, straight from Slash's mouth. That said, I'll continue to support VR in any incarnation. I'm also very excited to be seeing STP this summer. They'd always been one of my favorite bands and I never got to see them live before. Scott parting ways with VR opened a couple new doors, for me at least.

I would say considering all things leading up to today, this statement is for real.

I am excited to see what's next for VR.

Yeah.  "You can't quit, you're fired!!" Sounds kind of silly.
