• Scott Stapp Talks Creed Reunion, Guitarist Mark Tremonti Not Ready

    Creed frontman Scott Stapp seems to be on an upswing after the infamous video that he posted to Facebook, where he claimed to be completely broke, homeless and under attack from seemingly unknown assailants. It was later revealed that Stapp had suffered a breakdown due to Bipolar Disorder and worsened by substance abuse. Currently, he is hopeful that his top-charting band is set to reunite, but guitarist Mark Tremonti is not ready, at least in the short term.

  • Scott Stapp Skipped Mental Health Hearing, Could Be Involuntarily Committed

    Creed's Scott Stapp reportedly skipped a mental health hearing that a court required him to attend. The scheduled appearance was supposed to be a chance for officials to propose Stapp spend some time in a psychiatric treatment facility. The singer made headlines in November after posting multiple videos in which he claimed he was broke and living in his truck. A few days ago, it was reported that Stapp recieved a $1.5 million advance for his last solo effort, 2013's "Proof of Life." He, along with Creed bandmates Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips, reportedly received $3 million in advance of 2009's "Full Circle." Stapp's stories of mysterious sources draining his bank account and not receiving royalties from his record label seem a bit sketchy now. The singer's mental health came into question earlier in November when police in Madison County, Florida, found him on the side of the road looking inebriated and rambling incoherently. He was placed in a 72-hour psych hold, and his wife, Jaclyn, asked that he be put in an additional psych hold after the videos started surfacing. GossipExtra notes that Stapp can be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility for having missed his recent court date. The singer appears to be sober in the video messages, but there is no way of telling what his true state of mind is.
