Scott Weiland is a very naughty boy. And I can only imagine very unpopular with his fellow bandmates, who were meant to be rockin’ out Down Under tonight, not trying to avoid media scrutiny because their singer is in trouble for drug use again.

Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland, who has struggled with drug addiction for much of his music career, was arrested for driving under the influence on November 21 in Los Angeles. He is due in court on December 13.

According to a copy of the arrest report posted by TMZ.com on Monday (December 3) and confirmed by a California law-enforcement source, Weiland was driving on a Los Angeles highway around 6:18 p.m. of the 21st when he was involved in a non-injury collision in which it was determined he was at fault. “While the police were investigating the traffic collision, Weiland exhibited signs of impairment,” the report read. “The investigation officer administered a series of field sobriety tests to the driver, which he was unable to satisfactorily perform.”

The singer was arrested for driving under the influence of a drug and then taken to the LAPD jail in Van Nuys, California, where he allegedly refused to take a blood or urine test. He was later released on $40,000 bail, an amount that is much higher than the typical misdemeanor bail in such a case, likely due to the singer’s prior arrests.

This isn’t the first time he has been involved in a car accident and been charged with drug and alcohol use. On October 27th 2003 Scott was charged with DUI, but the charges were dropped after a visit to rehab. Scott’s unlikely to be that lucky a second time.

Scott is planning on writing a memoir, which would probably be good reading. He claims to have spent a month in a hotel room using drugs with Courtney Love, and has been in jail and rehab a few times. When he can make time he’s also had a fairly successful music career with Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver.

Of course, writing a memoir can be pretty difficult if you can’t remember large chunks of your life. Do you usually interview people to find out what happened to yourself? Do you wake up in strange cities with no memory of getting yourself back to the tour bus? Are you frequently denied visas to foreign countries because of your dubious personal history? Has your wife ever set fire to your clothes?

You could be suffering from the rock and roll lifestyle.
