Since time is a flat circle and all celebrity is forgotten in the sea of change, 90’s rock band Stone Temple pilots are on the hunt for a new lead singer. This comes three months after the departure of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and two months after the death of original lead singer Scott Weiland. In order to find the perfect singer to allow the band to “continue on, to evolve and to do what we do,” the remaining STP members are holding a contest searching for amateur singers that might be a perfect fit. So, if singing “Interstate Love Song” and “Big Empty” with a group of strangers is your dream, consider this a chance to live it.
