Have fun with it and know that 100% of the profits are going to help my sister in law and my niece’s Sophie and Claudette.”

Response to Public Outrage Towards Mary's Book
When I was 16 years old I dreamed of being a famous rock star. I never knew what came along with it - the good, the bad, and the straight up bullshit. I thought that creating beauty would bring beauty... Not always. At 16, Mary dreamed of being a famous model. She came close but she gave up her career for Noah, Lucy, and myself. She never got to see the "what could have happened".
Well as everyone knows by now we are getting divorced and yes, Mary is writing a book which I have not read. But what I want everyone to know is that it has nothing to do with infidelity. Neither the divorce, nor the book. Please don't place the red letter upon my children's mother.
One last thing... My love for her will never end. We just forgot how to be friends. She has now chosen a public career and one that brings both accolades and public scrutiny. There will be more of this sort of thing to deal with as time goes by... both good and bad.
Divorce is hell, I remember it well and we deal with it every day. And if you think about it, we both have our "what ifs" and "why nots", but it's no cheaters story and all I ask is to not see her cry.
The Scott Weiland camp are doing something really special for this leg of the Scott Weiland tour. Now fans everywhere can share in the live music experience. Live recordings of every show on this tour will be available for download! Pre-orders are available now and the first show should go live very shortly.
