VELVET REVOLVER OPEN US TOUR WITH BENEFIT FOR ADDICTS' FAMILIES

Rockers VELVET REVOLVER kicked off their Re-Evolution tour in Hollywood last night (03May07) with a benefit to raise cash for the charity singer SCOTT WEILAND set up and dedicated to his late brother.

VELVET REVOLVER

The group performed at The Avalon in what was the first concert to benefit Weiland's new foundation, which is aimed at helping the families of drug addicts who die.

Proceeds from the show will go towards supporting the family Weiland's brother Michael left behind when he died.

The singer himself has battled heroin problems in the past.
