Puddle of Mudd Abandon Frontman Wes Scantlin Mid-Gig
Reports say that the frontman was inebriated during the gig
It's no secret that Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has had issues of late.
One gig in the past few months saw him stop mid-set and admonish an audience member who he accused of 'stealing his house'.
Now, footage from a gig in Doncaster, England last week shows his bandmates walk off stage and leave him sitting shirtless, on a chair, speaking to the audience and refusing to leave the stage.
Crowd reports suggest that the singer was inebriated from the onset.
Footage of the show has emerged which shows him saying: "My band, Puddle of Mudd, who I thought was my band has quit on me. They have stopped playing with me. Not a surprise."
Scantlin has had problems with alcohol and drug addiction in the past.
The band later released a statement which reads:
"It will be no secret that last nights Puddle of Mudd gig didn’t exactly go to plan as our 500 strong audience were certainly treated to a very ‘rock n roll’ evening, and in the end, quite concerning performance from lead signer, Wes Scatlin."
However, Scatlin has since taken to Twitter to deny any rumours that suggest the band are going their separate ways.
