'Lost' Van Halen Audition Demo Streaming Online

Weiland married his second wife, Forsberg, in 2000; a year later, the musician was arrested on domestic violence charges in Las Vegas, NV for allegedly shoving her, but charges were deferred after the couple agreed to counseling.

Forsberg, Noah (15) and Lucy (13) penned an emotional essay about the singer's passing as a cautionary tale wrapped up in societal stereotypes. "December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died," the three wrote. "It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope.

"We don't want to downplay Scott's amazing talent, presence or his ability to light up any stage with brilliant electricity. So many people have been gracious enough to praise his gift. The music is here to stay. But at some point, someone needs to step up and point out that yes, this will happen again - because as a society we almost encourage it. We read awful show reviews, watch videos of artists falling down, unable to recall their lyrics streaming on a teleprompter just a few feet away. And then we click 'add to cart' because what actually belongs in a hospital is now considered art."

Forsberg goes on to detail some personal attempts to have Weiland participate in family events and how the children were shut out of the singer's new life with third wife and photographer Jamie Wachtel, who he met in 2011 and married in 2013.

"Noah and Lucy never sought perfection from their dad," sums up Forsberg. "They just kept hoping for a little effort. If you're a parent not giving your best effort, all anyone asks is that you try just a little harder and don't give up. Progress, not perfection, is what your children are praying for.

Page spoke with Classic Rock about his plans and said the following of the new music he has been working on: "The writing that I've been doing, I'm thinking of it in a totally different way. And that has a charm of its own, and an excitement to it."

And although Page has not yet hired any musicians for his touring band, he has already planned out what kind of show he will be staging, and what kind of material it would include. He says, "There will be all sorts of material from different eras," he says. "Right across the board - that's the way I'm seeing it. But like I said, there will be surprises. It won't be entirely what people might be expecting.

"The best way for me to think about it," he says, "is pacing towards a really exciting show, where you've still got chance to improvise and come up with new things every night. And I think in that sense, people are going to say, 'Yeah, okay, I get it.'

And there are a lot of bands out there that do adventures that kill them, whether it's choosing the wrong management or making a bad investment or something like that.

You don't have to like it, I get that, and there are people that are articulate enough to be able to say it that way, 'I might not like the project, but I'm really glad, as an artist, they took a risk and went for it.'
