Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum reminisced about Scott Weiland and his time with the singer in a new interview recorded just days after Weiland's death at the age of 48. In a long chat with Sirius XM's Matt Pinfield, an emotional Sorum said of his former band mate, "In the end, I just want the world to know that I feel like I made my peace with him." Sorum also called working with Weiland in Velvet Revolver the "highlight" of his career. "Being in a band, obviously in my career, has never been a perfect ride, but the reality of it is rock and roll is never a perfect ride, real rock and roll," Sorum said. "And I think Scott Weiland was that guy. He was complicated, yes, but the artistry was magnificent."
