Funny thing is Ori was always the girl with the water bottle before all this. She's going down with him, I fear.
As for the September release - great!!! Did he mention a year?

He did not say a year but last year she said next: Of course I'm still voting for Feb.30th
Sorry, IMO she was not the "girl with the water bottle". Brookly Allman has posted the bottle had Vodka in it (Joke??) - there were several pictures pre and very early with Richie with more than enough alcohol to not think she was all health conscious. Not saying she is alcoholic but not innocent. Allman had a vodka pong video in his garage the night before she was very late to the first Malibu guitar fest - I think it's since deleted. That was early on. Pics and favoured posts out there if you want to look for yourself.
Richie has admitted a problem, said right after he left the band he had some slips and in NJ during the drug charity event that he was still in touch with his sober coach - in fact said that day. Bingers and some can have "calm" periods but there is always a storm unless they follow the Alice Cooper/Tico Torres "never" again. Look at the posts from the shows in 2014 - even on these boards. Shared here before, my Mom was a binger. 5 1/2 rehabs - seen/heard it all - they all want to think can control/be social again. Alcohol is the great deceiver.
This coming up made me think about when Weiland's wife lashed out at fans for encouraging the behaviour. Understand her anger, hated the enablers but ultimately it is only one person who can make the change. They do need the right circle/encouragement and I don't think he has that.
Edit: Had put Cornell, guess most recent on my mind but was Scott Weiland's wife who was upset on social media.
