...An arrest warrant was issued for Mr Weiland on Friday after he failed to show up for a court hearing set to discuss whether the singer's recently set probation relating to a DUI charge would impact on his existing probation for a previous drug-possession charge. Weiland now needs to show up at court tomorrow otherwise he could face jail.

That said, the singer's lawyer was keen to play down his client's absence from the hearing and the resulting arrest warrant. Anthony Brooklier told reporters he had previously requested a delay on the hearing because of Weiland's commitments with Velvet Revolver, adding that the warrant was just a technicality. Brooklier: "It makes it sound pejorative to say there's a warrant. You knew this guy would not even not show up for a hearing. The court agreed to put [the hearing] over [until Tuesday], and they issue a bench warrant and hold it. That's what it really amounts to."
