Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has hinted he plans to give up touring after telling a Los Angeles publication he hates spending time away from his kids. The rocker, who was sacked as Velvet Revolver's singer in April, admits it upsets him when he misses a month of his kids' lives due to concert commitments.
He tells L.A. Weekly, "It pains me when I am gone for a month, even, and I come back and there's differences - big positive amazing differences, beautiful differences - that I haven't been a part of because I've been working."
And the singer has reiterated his retirement plans in a new PulseofRadio.com interview, explaining, "I kind of want to stop that phase of my life, being on the road non-stop."
Weiland has just completed a six-month tour with the reunited Stone Temple Pilots and releases a solo album, Happy In Galoshes, on November 25.
His plans to quit touring will have to wait - he will perform at a series of radio festivals in December before kicking off a U.S. solo tour in January, according to Blabbermouth.net.
