Creed
Vocalist Scott Stapp Completes Stint in Rehab
We’ve
got breaking news about Creed frontman Scott Stapp that hopefully points in a
positive direction. According to Creed bandmate Mark Tremonti, Stapp both
checked into, and successfully completed, a stint in rehab.
In
November 2014, Scott Stapp posted a self-made video claiming he was completely
penniless and sleeping in his truck. Considering Stapp’s history with substance
abuse and the singer’s overall demeanor in the video, many fans quickly assumed
Stapp had fallen off the wagon. Those concerns were quickly supported by
divorce papers filed by Stapp’s wife, which noted alleged drug use.
Stapp
was later placed on psychiatric hold after threatening to kill himself. Stapp
stayed for three days, but his estranged wife then sought a 60-day hold for the
troubled musician.
Though
Stapp’s Creed bandmates attempted to reach out and help, the singer continued
to spiral downwards. He missed a court hearing, lost custody of his children
and a 911 tape surfaced where Scott’s wife claimed he was on a mission to
assassinate President Obama.
We
haven’t heard anything about Scott Stapp’s condition since December, but
earlier today, during an exclusive interview with Mark Tremonti, the guitarist
offered a hopeful update on Scott. “Thank God he got through it all and his
family got him into treatment. I think he went through a 90-day program. I know
he went to get help and now he’s out of the treatment, so hopefully he stays
sober.”
Tremonti
added, “Family is the most important thing. You’ve just got to stay sober and
clean and provide for your family and be there for your kids. For me, that’s
what would always keep me out of trouble.”
