Weiland Recovers From Seizure, Plots Stone Temple Pilots Tour

Scott Weiland wasn't going to let something like a little seizure prevent him from performing this weekend: As Rolling Stone reported late Friday, Weiland suffered a mild seizure on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Dallas. After a brief visit to the hospital, Weiland — who was in "good spirits" after recovering — caught a flight to Miami and made it in time for his scheduled hour-long solo performance at the city's Mansion venue, TMZ reports.

The quick-healing Weiland and the rest of the Stone Temple Pilots also announced that they'll hit the road next month for a jaunt of the States in October and a raid on Canada in November. Weiland and the gang will then bid goodbye to 2009 with a New Year's Day show in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Check out the tour as it stands now below:

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
