After a two year singer search, Stone Temple Pilots have finally announced that their new singer is Jeff Gutt, who has been rumored to be a contender for the job since fall 2016. It’s been a tumultuous few years for STP, the band fired Scott Weiland in February 2013 and hired Chester Bennington to replace him in May 2013. Bennington quit STP in November 2015, and Weiland died from a drug overdose in December 2015. STP announced their singer search in February 2016, and performed a one off reunion show with Bennington in March 2016. Bennington died by suicide in July 2017.
