Stone Temple Pilots (often

abbreviated as STP) are an American rock band from San DiegoCalifornia, that originally consisted of Scott Weiland (lead vocals), brothers Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass, backing vocals), and Eric Kretz (drums). The band's line-up remained unchanged

from its formation in 1989 until the firing of Weiland in February 2013. Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington joined

the band in May 2013, but left amicably in November 2015 to focus solely

on Linkin Park. On December 3, 2015, Weiland was found dead on his tour bus

before a performance with his band The Wildabouts.

In 2016, the band launched an online audition for a new lead vocalist and

announced Jeff Gutt as the new lead singer of

the band on November 14, 2017. After forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe

Young, the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple

Pilots. The band's debut album, Core,

released in 1992, was a major commercial success and STP went on to become one

of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s, selling more than 18

million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide. The band

released four more studio albums: Purple (1994), Tiny

Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996), No. 4 (1999), and Shangri-La Dee Da (2001), before separating in 2002,

after which the band members partook in various projects (most notably Velvet Revolver and Army of Anyone). The band eventually reconvened in 2008 for

reunion tour, released their self-titled sixth album in

2010, and actively toured until Chester Bennington's departure. The band's only

material with Bennington was the EP High Rise in 2013. The band released its second self-titled album on

March 16, 2018.

While

initially rising to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, further releases from

the band expressed a variety of influences, including psychedelic rockbossa nova and classic rock. The band's evolution throughout the 1990s and

early 2000s involved periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about in

part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction.
