Every band I can think of, no matter how recently they've broken up or parted ways, now seems to be getting in on the profitable reunion tour action. The latest culprits: STP -- those venerably late-to-the-grunge-era rockers, famously fronted by the (de)railing, flailing, gaunt icon Scott Weiland who, of late, has returned to fame alongside Slash and his fellow Velvet Revolvers.

After Velvet Revolver wraps a spring tour in support of its second album, "Libertad," frontman Scott Weiland will rejoin his former bandmates in Stone Temple Pilots for a handful of summer reunion shows, guitarist Slash tells Billboard.com.

STP broke up in late 2002; the band's last album was the previous year's "Shangri-La Dee Da." No other details have yet been revealed about STP's plans.
