Velvet Revolver man facing DUI charges

Velvet Revolver cancelled their Australian tour on Friday, possibly because frontman Scott Weiland is due in court in LA on 13 Dec to face new 'drinking under the influence' charges, relating to an incident on 21 Nov. The official announcement regarding the tour postponement did not give a reason, but reports about the DUI charges have since surfaced. Weiland is on $40,000 bail, and probably isn't allowed to leave the US until the court case. It's not the first time Weiland has been charged with DUI - he was done for the same crime back in 2003.
