Wes Scantlin Claims Ex-Bandmate Roofied Him Before Disastrous Benefit Show

Wes Scantlin, lead singer of Puddle of Mudd, faced criticism for a dismal performance during a benefit concert at Daytona Bike Week in Florida on March 1. Despite the event raising $5,000 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital through a guitar auction, attendees were unimpressed with Scantlin's stage presence, describing the show as a 'total disaster.' In a video the following day, Scantlin claimed he was roofied by a former bandmate, Sean Sammon, who left the band in 2002, attributing his erratic behavior to this incident. Fans expressed concern for the rest of the band, noting that Scantlin's past struggles with substance abuse have led to a history of problematic performances. The venue owner even issued an apology for the performance, reflecting widespread disappointment among concert-goers. This incident continues a troubling trend for Scantlin, who has faced numerous legal issues and erratic behavior in recent years.
