Since then, the tour has been pushed back a few times, with the final lineup now featuring the likes of Cheap Trick, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Of course, the bad news wasn’t done yet, with the COVID pandemic putting these plans on ice for the foreseeable future. With new album Perdida arriving in early 2020, the group were set to finally make their way back to Australian shores, having been announced alongside Live and Bush for the Under the Southern Stars national tour. Recruiting Jeff Gutt, the band announced their return soon after, unveiling a new self-titled record in 2018, and effectively kicking off their comeback.

While Weiland would pass in 2015, Bennington would follow in 2017, leaving the group uncertain of their future, and ultimately in search of a new vocalist. Since then though, the band had undergone a bit of turmoil.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS recently completed its first North American tour with Bennington on the mic. The group later sued Weiland, with the singer firing off a countersuit and claiming that they could not use the band name without his involvement. STP fired Weiland in February, claiming that his own solo activities and erratic behavior were detrimental to the band. Other tracks on the new disc include "Black Heart", "Cry, Cry" and "Tomorrow". "Out Of Time" was released over the summer and vaulted to the top of the Active Rock radio chart. "Within a couple of days we had nine or 10 demos that we were kicking around and I knew the second that I got the memo from Robert, he was playing 'Out Of Time', the main riff, and it was like, I mean melodies just started coming." "After our very first initial kind of let's sit down, you know, officially kind of shake hands and say we're doing this, I think by the time we got home, we were already like coming up with ideas," he said. Although the EP contains just five songs, Bennington told The Pulse Of Radio that coming up with music together was not a problem. "High Rise" is STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' first new disc with Bennington, who replaced original frontman Scott Weiland earlier this year. The CD arrived in stores on October 8 via Play Pen/ ADA.



STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' new EP, "High Rise", sold 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. Fook and Mishell of the Tucson, Arizona radio station KFMA recently conducted an interview with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington.
