According to a just-released statement:
"Velvet Revolver founding members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner announced today that they are parting ways with singer Scott Weiland. 'This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either,' said Slash. 'Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on.'"
