is Tommy in denial?
Denial of what?
He's definitely got some sort of conscious thing going on at the moment. The so called replacement "hired hands" in the Wildabouts band have posted multiple comments and pictures about how much Scott's death is hurting and affecting them. I dunno about Facebook or Twatter, but on Instagram, all Tommy has posted since Scott's death is 2 things about being in Idaho for Christmas.
And for somebody who pretty much every day was posting pictures of himself imbibing with this guy who just died with alcohol named as a direct contributor to his death, well....
The fuck would Tommy Black be in denial about? Scott Weiland actually being dead?
Given a month to grieve and think it over, I don't want to say Tommy Black has blood on his hands, but you are either crazy deep in the throes of addiction, or you're some sort of psychopath with zero foresight, to be constantly getting drunk with one the the 1990s' most notorious addicts....
