Dave Navarro, the Jane’s Addiction guitarist and singer, first broke the news of Weiland’s death. “Just learned our friend Scott Weiland has died,” Navarro wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “So gutted, I am thinking of his family tonight.” Navarro later tweeted his followers to send their thoughts to Weiland’s family.

It was confirmed Friday morning that Weiland had died in his sleep on a tour bus in Minnesota while touring with his band The Wildabouts. Though it was well known that the 48-year-old musician had long suffered from substance abuse issues, it has yet to be confirmed whether or not that played a part in his passing.

Weiland is survived by his wife Jamie Wachtel, and children Noah and Lucy from a previous marriage.
