Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has admitted that the band forced Scott Weiland out by ignoring him.
Slash says that during the band’s European tour he and the other members acted like Weiland didn’t exist until he took the hint.
Weiland at one point announced on stage in Glasgow that the band were over but the former Guns ‘n’ Roses man says that was all part of the plan.
He revealed: "We basically didn't speak a word (to Weiland) that whole time. We gave him the cold shoulder in the U.K. like nobody's business.
“There were a couple of arguments around the stage but, other than that, nobody spoke to him.
"I imagine he was quite uncomfortable. No wonder he didn't have a good time. Then, he told everyone in Glasgow that the whole band was over.
“We were like, 'Oh well, I guess we've got a surprise coming for you'."

- Not very professional Mr Hudson.
I seen Revolver in Liverpool last month and Weiland had the decency to put on a show. Good luck to him in the future.
Wonder if Slash, Duff and Matt fancy a return to Axl?
