Lostprophets: Our “Hearts Go Out” to Ian Watkins’ Victims

Ian Watkins' former Lostprophets band mates have said their "hearts go out" to his victims after he pleaded guilty to a string of child sex offenses.

The disgraced rocker admitted to attempting to rape a fan's 11-month-old baby son and 10 other child sex offenses but pleaded not-guilty to the rape of an under 13 at Cardiff Crown Court this week.

The remaining members of the now-disbanded group have released a statement in which they said they are disgusted by Watkins' actions and their "hearts go out" to those affected. "Our hearts go out to Ian's family, the fans and friends he betrayed, and most importantly, the victims of his crimes and others like them. We hope for justice, but also that Ian will truly take responsibility for what he's done," they said In a post on their Facebook account.

Scott Weiland Adamant That He Is Still in Stone Temple Pilots

Scott Weiland claims Stone Temple Pilots lied about firing him to boost ticket sales.

The "Sour Girl" band released a statement earlier this week, saying Scott had been sacked, although he counters the band had already organized a tour without him, and saw it as a way of promoting their shows.

"STP is not broken up. It's a whole thing to try to boost ticket sales," he told TMZ.

He added the band do not communicate very much, and said the rest of the group could never tour as Stone Temple Pilots without him, due to a clause in their contract. Scott also maintained the band is still intact and together. On Wednesday, the band released a one line statement, reading, "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland."
