According to Slash, Velvet Revolver are planning to audition online for a singer to replace Scott Weiland. There are no details, just a vague notion that this is what they might do. Here's what the guitarist told Billboard: "The band is actually talking about building a website [and] doing some auditions via that, so that's been something that's developing at this point. We're at that point of just listening to different things... it's one of those kind of situations where you can't really explain it to anybody because you'll know it when you hear it. So I'm waiting to get that feeling of, 'Yeah that's it'".
The band have a gig in Las Vegas upcoming, and Slash says that a number of singers will fill in on that date: "I'm not gonna name any names", he said, "but a bunch of well-known people will get up and sing some songs, and then also bring up a couple people that we think are pretty good and might sing a couple songs".
Weiland is, of course, back with Stone Temple Pilots, who are due to tour this summer.
