Scott Weiland's son Noah has shared a cryptic and worrying Instagram story, stating he'd rather be dead than live like his dad. The post comes years after Scott's tragic overdose death in 2015. Fans and outlets are concerned about what it all means.
Oh honey, the Weiland family drama is hitting hard again. Noah Weiland, son of the late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, dropped a bombshell on his Instagram story Thursday afternoon. Picture this: a blurry gray background with the stark words, "I'd rather be DEAD" – but he qualifies it, saying he'd rather be dead than live as his dad did. 😳
He keeps going: "Regardless of all this, it's been a long journey. Can't wait to see him again & thank you for all your support along the way. Won't ever forget this." Eerie vibes, right? It reads like the start of something heavy, though no one knows for sure what's behind it. Outlets like TMZ and Yo Gossip are calling it worrying, and they've reached out to Noah – crickets so far.
Flashback: Scott Weiland was found dead on a tour bus in Minnesota back in 2015. Authorities ruled it an accidental overdose from cocaine, MDMA (that's old-school Ecstasy), and alcohol. Noah was just a teen then, and he's been open about battling similar demons. Remember when he got booted from his band Suspect208 over drug issues? Noah told iHeartRadio that the kick-out only made his problems worse. Messy cycle, isn't it?
If this is hitting close to home, remember: help is out there. Call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. So, is Noah just venting the family ghosts, or is there more tea brewing? Spill if you know!
