Stone Temple Pilots Reveal New Singer

Stone Temple Pilots have revealed the identity of their new singer.

It was rumored in November last year that the band had recruited former X Factor contestant Jeff Gutt – and it’s now been confirmed that it is indeed Gutt who will be behind the mic going forward.

The vocalist made his live debut with the band last night at a private show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, where among other songs, they premiered their new track Meadow, which can be heard below.

Gutt has spent the last year writing and recording with founding members Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz, with a new, as-yet-untitled album due in spring 2018 via Atlantic/Rhino to coincide with a planned North American tour.

Dean DeLeo says: “We wanted someone who would not only do our earlier songs justice, but would also write new songs and carve out a different path forward with us. It took some time, but we found our guy.”

Stone Temple Pilots launched a worldwide search for a new vocalist in February 2016 after Chester Bennington left the band to concentrate on Linkin Park. The band received and reviewed 15,000 submissions online before selecting more than 30 singers to audition in person with the group at Studio 606 in LA.
