Who is Noah Weiland? Scott Weiland’s son posts troubling message following dad’s 10th death anniversary

Late singer-songwriter Scott Weiland’s son, Noah Weiland, shared troubling posts, citing financial difficulties and hardships on both personal and professional fronts.

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (December 11), Noah wrote:

“I’d rather be DEAD than live the same way my father did. Regardless of all this, it’s been a long journey. Can’t wait to see him again, and thank you for all the support along the way. Won’t ever forget this.”

Noah Weiland, 25, is the only son of Scott Weiland, whom he shared with his second wife, Mary Forsberg. He is also a musician like his dad and was previously part of the now-defunct band Suspect208.

Noah’s post came a week after he celebrated Scott’s 10th death anniversary with a concert at the Garden Amp outdoor amphitheater in Orange County, California, on December 3.

On the same fateful day in 2015, Scott Weiland died from a drug overdose on his tour bus in Bloomington, Minnesota, while touring with the band Scott Weiland & the Wildabouts. He was 48.

“I made 10k+ the other night at that show. My cut was not much over a thousand $. Split between me and 3 other band members, does that make sense mathematically? Anyways, thank you for all your support, everybody. NOAH WEILAND – OUT,” the son added on another Instagram Story.

Noah Weiland’s messages have now raised concern among his fans and followers.

All you need to know about Noah Weiland

Noah Weiland was raised by a single mother alongside a younger sister named Lucy, after his parents got divorced after more than seven years of marriage.

Speaking to Rolling Stone earlier this month, Weiland said that he grew up with an absentee father.

“I can honestly say I’ve had a very tough posthumous relationship with my father. Most of my life, I grew up on rap music, but I always go through deep phases of listening to other genres. Lately, it’s been mostly rock bands that I have been tapped in with again, and I definitely have a place in my heart for my dad’s music.”

Noah, himself, is now a father to the 13-month-old baby boy Anakin, whom he welcomed with his longtime girlfriend.

“Being a dad is hard, and it makes me forgive my father for his struggles. It wasn’t his fault, and he wasn’t even all that bad when the dude wasn’t all too sober. I wish I could’ve spent more time with him regardless of where he was in life, which is why I’ll always make time for my son Anakin.”

Noah Weiland is listed as a verified artist on Spotify with more than 833 monthly listeners. He has ten songs on the streaming platform, including Limbo, SLITHER, YES MOMMY, One Day, Yesterday, I Love You, 3009, That Summer, and Breakup Song, among others.

His music is also available on Apple Music and YouTube, where he has 4.2 subscribers. Meanwhile, Noah’s Instagram has over 17,200 followers. As a former member of Suspect208, he worked with drummer London (son of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash) and bassist Tye (son of Metallica member Robert Trujillo).

As a 5-year-old, Weiland and his father appeared in a comedy sketch on The Showbiz Show with David Spade, where they campaigned against sharing music files.

Young Noah Weiland often accompanied his father on his concerts and tours, including one in 2012, where he went viral for joining Scott Weiland on the rendition of his hit song, Dead and Bloated.

He recently performed at his dad’s tribute show in California alongside Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell, who is the son of late Sublime founder Bradley Nowell. Noah was also joined by drummer Connor J Sears, guitarist Spencer Carr Reed, and bassist Miles Christian Davis.

In the aftermath of the show, the S*x Type Thing crooner’s son wrote on his Instagram:

“CRAZY TO THINK WHAT WE PULLED OFF ON ONLY 3 WEEKS NOTICE… AND TO THINK I DID IT ALL WHILE TRYNA GET REHOUSED, KEEP MYSELF FROM GOING OFF THE RAILS WITH ADDICTION & VISITING MY SON FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 7 MONTHS IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.”

Noah Weiland gave a shoutout to his audience and ended with the note “Love ya, dad.” He also spoke about a follow-up Encore Tour on the post as well as with Rolling Stone.

“The goal is that if this show goes well, we want to do a mini ‘Encore Tour’ with the same exact setup and setlist. I’d love to take this all the way,” the artist told the publication.

During the interview, Noah Weiland was between rehearsals, AA meetings, and praying. He added that the setlist would be a “surprise” and would range across eras and include “underrated songs” from his dad’s music catalogue.

“I’ll definitely do a solo song or two of my own tunes, but they will be more rock and grunge-based to fit the vibe of the show. It’ll be chilling. Very surreal, like a throwback to the tours I grew up going on as a kid, but instead I’m performing… We want it to be an experience rather than just a concert,” the ‘Looks That Kill’ singer noted.

As part of the same conversation, Scott Weiland’s only son revealed that he was not in touch with his dad’s bandmates or his own mother, but was “open to catching up.”

He is slated to release a mixtape titled Crashout Junkie with accompanying music videos, which covers genres including grunge, rock, hyperpop, and rap.

Noah Weiland is also gearing up for a U.S. and global tour starting in January and has expressed to attend Alcoholics Anonymous sessions to deal with his addiction issues, according to his latest Instagram post.

Scott Weiland led two iconic rock bands, Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, from the front, ahead of his untimely demise. Back then, his death was attributed to his years-long addiction issues and multiple medical conditions, including asthma and cardiovascular disease.

At the time, Scott was married to his third wife, Jamie Wachtel, and was performing with the Wildabouts in Minnesota. However, their shows were either cancelled or postponed due to low sales.
