  • 7 Longest Climbs to No. 1 on Hot 100: John Legend, Creed and More Took Months to Get to Top

    The classic charity anthem "We Are The World" reached no. 1 on this date 30 years ago, but it was far from when the single debuted: It took more than three months for the song—which featured Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Lionel Richie and many more—to climb up to the no. 1 spot. That's far from the longest a single has had to wait before it arrived at no. 1 on the Hot 100 however. John Legend, Creed and UB40 know a thing or two about waiting.

  • 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.

  • Creed Singer Scott Stapp Reveals He's Homeless, Broke [WATCH]

    In a shocking, 16-minute video posted to his Facebook page, Creed frontman Scott Stapp debunked some rumors about him that have been circulating in the press and over the Internet, while also revealing that he has been homeless for the last few months and is currently living at a Holiday Inn. According to Stapp, his current financial situation is the result of unpaid royalties, an IRS audit and unnamed people who are stealing his money from his bank accounts. "I'm sure you've heard the many rumors and slanderous, libelous accusations over the last few weeks," Stapp says at the beginning of the video. "First, I was dead ... Then there were rumors that I'm on drugs and drinking and relapsed and in rehab, all these other things. That's also a lie ... I'm sober as can be." After addressing these rumors about his sobriety, Stapp then reveals that he is "penniless" and that "there are people who have taken advantage and stolen money" from him. "They're trying to discredit me, slander me," he says. "Someone had used my information and changed my online passwords to my bank accounts and transferred all the money out of my bank accounts so I had nothing." To make matters worse, Stapp reveals that the IRS has frozen his bank accounts due to a "clerical error" and will be returning his money in "nine to 10 months," which he plans to battle in court. "I'm gonna fight every single individual that is responsible for this," he says. "Right now I'm looking for an honest, good attorney that's ready to fight and take it all the way to the top."
