TMZ has learned Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland experienced a seizure during an American Airlines flight just hours ago.



Sources close to Scott tell us he suffered the seizure while flying from Los Angeles to Miami. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

We're told Scott has a history of seizures -- he was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures. Despite the seizure, we're told Scott plans on attending the launch of his clothing line "Weiland for English Laundry" on Saturday.

8. I don't know if there's any truth to it, but I heard that he might have been on cocaine when it happened. Whatever happened or caused it, it's a scary situation.

10. "We're told Scott has a history of seizures"

Yeah, and Scott also has a history of extreme drug use.

Any more news flashes? Please keep on top of this story, not.

11. has seizures because he's a drug addict. no big surprise. he's been a drug addict forever. during his 1st or 2nd visit to rehab more than 20 yrs ago, he had the nerve to compare himself to keith richards. yes - he said this to me. he's an egomaniac. and i pray for him.

12. Don't jump to conclusions about drugs. Seizure disorders come in a variety of forms. And Epilepsy is frightening to people who don't understand it. That's why many celebs who have it hide it. It would cause this kind of speculation, potentially ruining their careers by branding them unmarketable.

Actually, most who have it don't tell anyone but those close to them because of this kind of stigma.

14. quite a publicity stunt to promote his clothing line. i wonder if the flight would've been interrupted if he'd been a black woman from Haiti? I doubt it. ANd I seriously he could be the first passenger to have an inflight medical emergency. Don't they usually just treat someone onboard?
