Rocker Has Sold His Core Residence in Pasadena--for $1.2 Million

Scott Weiland, lead singer with the rock group Stone Temple Pilots, and his former wife, Jannina, have sold their home in the Caltech area of Pasadena for close to its $1.2-million asking price.

Weiland, 32, will continue to maintain a home in the L.A. area, sources said. He married model Mary Forsberg in May.

Stone Temple Pilots, which had combined sales of more than 10 million for its 1992 debut album, “Core,” and 1994 album “Purple,” passed the 1-million sales mark in August for its most recent album, “No. 4.”

The group, which kicked off the MTV Return of the Rock Tour in October, recently signed with Q Prime, the management firm that handles Metallica and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

It has been a resurgence for Stone Temple Pilots and Weiland, who spent the last few years in drug rehab and four months, for probation violation, in jail. In August, he marked his first year of continuous sobriety since his teens.

The singer’s former home in Pasadena was built in the 1920s and has four bedrooms in about 3,000 square feet. The home also has a working avocado orchard. The buyers are both executives with Ticketmaster’s Citysearch.com.

Carol Thomson of Coldwell Banker, San Marino, and Patti Sano of Coldwell Banker Podley Caughey & Doan, Pasadena, represented the buyers; Jay McQuoid of Jay McQuoid Properties, Glendale, had the listing.
