Before Scott Weiland passed away, Richard Patrick of Filter made some comments to Music Frenzy about how Scott would become just “another rock star legend that died in a hotel room with a needle sticking out of his arm.”

 

Shortly thereafter, Scott replied (via Blabbermouth) by saying:

Overcoming my addiction to heroin was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’m damn proud of the fact that the time in my life when drugs were stronger than my commitment to my health is so far behind me, and always will be.

“By the way, man, I recall when I DID do drugs, and you were one of the guys getting high with me. It’s behind you, please note and respect that it’s behind me too.”

Following Scott’s death & after the cause of death was released, some wondered how honest/clean Scott had been. Richard weighed in on his addiction issues and Scott’s in the video posted above.
