In an interview with The Loop’s Atlanta sister station, Scott Stapp dodged questions this morning as to whether or not he’s been named the new singer of Stone Temple Pilots who in March undertook open auditions for the job of frontman.
Well now, in a tersely worded Tweet, STP firmly rejects the idea, saying:
“Despite recent comments, Scott Stapp is not, nor has he ever been considered as the singer for STP.”
Coincidentally, Stapp unknowingly was touring with his solo act aboard the same tour bus the former STP singer died in last December.
