Puddle Of Mudd made headlines earlier this year when the band canceled a series of shows including two at The Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan.
The venue would go on to announce that they would never reschedule Puddle Of Mudd in the future, and that the cancelations were the fault of singer Wes Scantlin. The frontman has had a troubled history of legal problems stemming from well-documented substance abuse issues.
“Puddle Of Mudd has cancelled all their upcoming concerts including the shows September 15 and 16 at The Machine Shop,” the venue said. “This is not a ‘due to circumstances beyond our control’ cancellation. This is 100% Wes. The Machine Shop, his band and everyone involved are very disappointed.”
“We will not be postponing the shows as we are not ever rescheduling Puddle Of Mudd. All tickets purchased through Etix will be automatically refunded. All hard tickets can be refunded at point of purchase. Thank you and please know that all of us at The Machine Shop appreciate your support and understanding.”
Scantlin recently did an interview with Rock Titan, and the singer hinted that a future project might see him take a shot a genre outside of rock.
“I’ve been throwing around the idea of doing like a sort of country record, kind of just maybe take a little stab at it. We’ll see what’s up,” he said. “It’s gonna be a very diverse record. It’s not gonna be just country. It’ll have a lot of different stuff and it’ll just be like a solo — kind of a solo thing for me to do. A ‘solo artist,’ as they say.”
“I could sing country. I could sing that type of style all day long, man, just like effortlessly.”
Scantlin has a sordid history, but he seems to have mellowed some in recent months. Previously, the singer walked off stage in the middle of numerous live performances for a variety of reasons. He’s also been arrested in the past for trying to board a plane with a BB gun, cocaine possession, driving under the influence, for taking a joyride on a baggage carousel, disorderly conduct, and leading police on a high speed chase, among other things.
