Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland performing at charity

Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland will perform at an all-star gala event benefiting the AROD Family Foundation, according to the Miami Herald. The event will take place on Saturday (January 19th) at the Ritz Carlton hotel in South Beach, Florida. Hosts will include Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia, who founded the non-profit organization to support programs focused on improving quality of life, education and mental health for families in distress. Also expected to attend are Pamela Anderson, boxer Lennox Lewis, catcher Mike Piazza, former baseball MVP Mo Vaughn, R&B singer Mario Winans and others.

Tickets to the event are $500 per person.

Weiland is expected to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday (January 17th), where his recent DUI case will be continued. The singer was charged with driving under the influence of drugs after being pulled over by police in late November.

Velvet Revolver will begin a new U.S. tour on January 24th in Chicago, with dates confirmed through February 9th.
