WEILAND'S NEW ALBUM DOCUMENTS HIS MARRIAGE COLLAPSE

Rocker SCOTT WEILAND vented the hurt and frustration of the collapse of his marriage to model MARY FORSBERG by writing a new solo album.
The Stone Temple Pilots singer reveals Happy in Galoshes is an honest emotional account of the 2007 separation, because he disappeared to the recording studio every time things got too much.
He tells MTV, "Most of the heavy writing that was done for this record has been done (during the) separation... between my wife and I.
"In those moments of emotional desperation, my studio would become my home, really. It's a massive warehouse place that used to be a heavy-machinery factory, which originally reeked of thick machine oil. I've had the studio for about 10 years, and it's like my art studio. It's a place where I have gone for solace. It's like my church, in a sense.
"When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single."
