‘I’d Prefer Death Over Living Like My Father’
Concerns are growing for Noah Weiland, son of the late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland. Recently, Noah shared troubling messages on his Instagram Stories, which have drawn attention from fans and followers.
Instagram Messages Highlight Struggles
On Thursday, Noah posted a series of three messages. The first, set to Green Day’s “Last Night on Earth,” expressed gratitude: “Thank you everybody. Til next time.” This post followed shortly after he performed at a tribute concert for his father, marking the tenth anniversary of Scott Weiland’s passing.
The second message revealed his frustrations regarding earnings from the tribute concert: “I made 10k the other night at that show. My cut was not that much over a thousand $. Split between me and 3 other band members, does that make any sense mathematically?”
However, it was the final message that raised the most alarms. Noah stated, “I’d rather be dead… then live the same way my father did.” He concluded by expressing a sense of longing: “Can’t wait to see him again, and thank you for all the support along the way.”
Personal Struggles and Aspirations
Noah has been candid about his own battles with addiction, making his latest posts particularly concerning. Despite this, he previously shared a more positive update on his Instagram feed. In that post, he expressed love for his father and excitement about upcoming projects. He plans to release his mixtape “Crashout Junkie” next week and is gearing up for a tour in January that will span multiple states and countries.
He encouraged his followers to engage, saying he would tour in places that receive the most likes from fans.
