STONE TEMPLE PILOTS recently completed recording their seventh full-length studio album and first since 2010. Prior to that, he fronted the bands DRY CELL, ACRYLIC, PUNCH and BAND WITH NO NAME and later formed a group called RIVAL CITY HEIGHTS. Gutt appeared on "The X Factor" in 2013, where he impressed the judges with his covers of songs like "Creep", "Dream On" and "Hallelujah". It was fun to incorporate all those things in my own way and still sing true to Scott's stuff and really keep that as true as I could." "I was studying Scott when I was coming into singing myself, and I learned so much from him. "I don't really feel that pressure," Gutt said. Gutt told the Daily Tribune that he feels ready to both honor his predecessors' legacy and bring something new to the band. Scott Weiland, who reunited with the group in 2010 after an eight-year hiatus but was dismissed in 2013, died in December 2015 of a drug overdose while on a solo tour. STP had been without a vocalist since November 2015, when Chester Bennington - who joined the group in early 2013 - departed to spend more time with his main band LINKIN PARK. He has spent the last year secretly writing and recording new material with band members Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz.

Gutt, who was a runner-up in the reality TV music competition show's third season, originally auditioned for STP in September 2016 and became an official member of the band in May 2017. It's like joining the LED ZEPPELIN of my generation. "It's a very strange feeling, but at the same time I'm blessed and very honored. I knew I had a secret I was about to reveal, which was cool. "I was just sitting on the sidelines watching it all unfurl and knowing what was going to happen before anyone else did.
"I've had some time to get used to the idea," the 41-year-old Gutt told the Daily Tribune in a new interview. A new STP single, titled "Meadow", has already been released, with a full-length album to follow in the spring. The one-time "The X Factor" contestant was announced as the third frontman in the group's history on Tuesday evening (November 14) prior to the band giving a special performance at the Troubadour nightclub in Los Angeles. New STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Jeff Gutt says that he is "blessed and very honored" to have been chosen to front "the LED ZEPPELIN of my generation."
