Scott Stapp hints he’s Stone Temple Pilots’ new singer, STP denies it
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Stereogum), Creed frontman Scott Stapp recently appeared on an Atlanta radio show and coyly refused to deny whether or not he’s going to be the new singer for Stone Temple Pilots. This comes a only few months after Stone Temple Pilots announced that they would be holding open auditions for a new singer on their website, with amateur performers encouraged to record videos or audio clips of them singing various STP songs. The point of the plan seemed to be that the band could then pick a new singer from a wider pool than just “singers from other famous bands who aren’t currently busy,” but Stapp’s comments—if you believe them—seem to go against that.
