December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died. It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope.

Scott Weiland's Family: 'Don't Glorify This Tragedy'

That's fair.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't even think about his family when I heard the news. I just thought, "aw, I liked his/their music", as I've always thought when musicians I like die.

Reading that puts things into perspective. Sure, the guy could sing, but he put his selfish and destructive tendencies ahead of the needs of his family.
