Rock star Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus in Minnesota ... TMZ has learned.

Weiland was on tour with his band Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts ... they were supposed to play the Medina Ballroom tonight, but the show was cancelled.

A source connected to the band tells us Scott was found Thursday night on the bus around 9 PM -- presumably, shortly before the band was to go on.

The former lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver famously battled substance abuse for years. It's unclear right now what caused his death.

Scott was 48.

As Rick James said, cocaine is hell of a drug. Rest in peace

He will be missed. I've loved STP for a loooong time.

🙁

Kind of eerie, just heard him on the Mancow radio show last week and he basically said his drug problems were behind him and was talking about upcoming performances.

As Richard Prior said...I'm not addicted to Cocaine. I just like the way it smells.

I'm really saddened that he couldn't overcome his addiction.

MTV Classic did a pretty good job of a tribute on Saturday.

I've been listening to their songs throught the weekend.
