In one of his final ever interviews with LiveForLiveMusic, late Stone Temple Pilots frontman revealed he ‘hopefully’ would be retired from the music industry by 2025.
“I want to move out of L.A. and hopefully to Sonoma. I want to continue making records and touring until it’s no longer possible.” He said he was “happily married and also the stepfather of a great kid named Wolfie.”
Weiland also had plans to return to the studio next month to work on his next album with the Wildabouts. “We’re going to make a record in January and start writing sessions soon. Doing demos and touring, and go back to recording. There will be a record in 2016.”
