Scott Weiland struggled with his heroine addiction while recording their third album Tiny Music... Songs From The Vatican Giftshop, which came out in 1996. He was in and out of rehab so the band didn't put out their next album No.4 until 1999. In 1999 the band was side-tracked again when Scott Weiland ended up back in the slammer on drug related charges. The Stone Temple Pilots are released their fifth album Shangri-La Dee Da in 2001. STP seems like it's back for good and ready to rock for years to come.
