Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, has a new song. “Time Will Tell” features previously unreleased vocals from his father, and Noah says he felt forced to release it after an anonymous blackmail attempt.

The younger Weiland wrote on Instagram that he was being blackmailed by someone who sent him an old version of the song and was threatening to leak it if Weiland didn’t hand over $2,000. Weiland says “Time Will Tell” started off as a Scott Weiland solo song.

He held onto an unfinished demo since he was a teenager and wanted to release it “way further” into his career. He also said he’s “almost positive” he knows who the blackmailer is explaining, “And if I’m correct then it’s one of my old best friends who’s super jealous of me, so I’d rather just let them sit back and watch.”
