Scott Weiland guitarist found dead

Jeremy Brown, the guitar player for Scott Weiland's band The Wildabouts, has been found dead. He was 34 years old.

Weiland announced the news on his Facebook page saying, "We received a call today about my friend Jeremy Brown that has shaken me to the core. We were all concerned this afternoon when Jeremy didn't show up for a long-scheduled rehearsal for tonight's album release show at School Night. An hour later, Jeremy's family called us to say that he had passed away. I am in shock right now, everyone that knows him is devastated. It is a terrible loss that goes beyond words. He is one of my best friends, a truest friend and one of the most gifted guitar players that I've ever known. A true genius. It's impossible to explain how much he will be missed and what a hole this will leave in our hearts. A post on Facebook feels so trite and small compared to the love that I have for him and for the talent that has passed on but I felt it was necessary to at least start here. Please keep his family in your thoughts".

Brown had worked with Weiland for the past seven years. They first worked together on the Weiland solo album 'Happy In Galoshes'.

Brown, who was born in California, is survived by his wife, two sisters and his mother.
