Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner’s wife Chris has revealed in an Instagram comment to Matt Sorum that Scott Weiland told her last month that he really wanted Velvet Revolver to reunite. Chris wrote to Sorum, “What a great talent. What an innocent tragic soul. We all loved him and all his quirks. We were family. It just won’t be the same. Last thing he said to me a month ago was ‘pls get VR back together.'”
Matt Sorum appeared on SiriusXM with Matt Pinfield yesterday to pay tribute to his fallen former Velvet Revolver bandmate. Pinfield is a longtime fan and friend of STP dating back to his days with MTV in the 90’s, and he wrote about being driven to tears by the loss of Weiland on Twitter.
I am so sad at the loss of my friend who reached out through To me here the other day. Addiction sucks. It breaks my heart- love you Scott W

This is really hitting me now and I am in tears. Scott was troubled but had a big heart. I'm grateful for the times we had and the music.

I couldn't sleep last night after I got the news,
But I listened to Purple all the way to Charlotte and it still sounds amazing.
