In an interview made by Details.com, when Weiland was asked “How do you chill out when you're not creating music?” He said;
"My favorite hobby is writing and recording songs at my studio. I like to surf, but I don't get a chance to do that as much as I'd like. I don't live close to the beach. I also like to ski, but I don't get to do that much, either. I've trained in mixed martial arts on and off for the past thirteen years and I enjoy doing that."
Sadly, former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland died Thursday night (Dec. 3) at the age of 48. The news has been confirmed with an official statement posted on the rocker’s social media sites.
