Creed front man Scott Stapp is tired of the lies, you guys. In a new video posted to the band’s Facebook page, the “Arms Wide Open” singer addresses some supposed claims that he was using a crazy amount of drugs and even just plain dead, and the fact that he was able to make an old-timey looking video for his fans proved that the latter was not true. As for the drugs and booze accusations from nameless people, Stapp claims that he was undergoing weekly blood and urine tests, “just in case.” Paranoid? Perhaps. A little whacked out of his melon? Maybe. But open and honest was the main theme to this video.
The biggest revelation of this all-too-personal video is that the guy is flat broke, living in a hotel and claiming that people have been stealing from him. He says that he’s “under some kind of vicious attack,” but he has no clue why, and so he has been auditing his company and personal finances. That’s how he realized that people have been stealing from him and not paying up on royalties, and that left him at the point that he couldn’t afford to eat for two days and wound up in the ER. The whole story is pretty incredible, but not at all surprising for someone who was a big star forever ago and pissed it all away.

STOP SMACKING YOUR LIPS
COULDN’T NOT FOCUS ON THAT. SO IRRITATING.
If the Lord has let him fall this low, clearly Scott Stapp didn’t believe hard enough.
If some guy offered him a twenty for a beej it sounds like he’d accept the offer “with arms wide open.”.
*BA DUM TSSHH*
Can You Make Him Higher????
Still a twat. Hopefully he put some money aside for his kid. Otherwise he’ll be heading to the student loan house with arms wide open.
I hear he’s in a Holiday Inn and not a Motel 6. All my empathy and a dime can get him some gum.
WHERE’S HIS CHRISTMAS MOVIE, MIKE SEAVER?!?!11!!
Wait. What the hell? He’s broke?!
He couldn’t eat for two days and ended up in the ER? Are those two things related? If so he’s a huge pussy, I’m broke a fuck and go longer than that without eating all the time.
thought the same thing. two days=ER?
With pockets wide open !
Broke and living in a hotel? Not bad.
What the hell?
Who put the fat-suit face makeup on Charlie Sheen and then had him record a black and white video?
I’m not the lead singer of Creed, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
That’s why you’re broke! Shoulda stayed at a Holiday Inn Express…
i believe i speak for everyone when I say “yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeehhhheeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh uuhhhh yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa hhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh sssssshhhhhhhhyyyeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.”
I always thought it’d be funny to see once successful broke performers try to make money like aspiring performers and play on the street
He can`t even afford color for that video.
Creed’s last album sold three or four hundred thousand copies. Surely that would be enough for the guy to buy some food from the dollar menu or something. Regardless, has been rock singers and bands usually make enough to survive from playing old music for fans. I think even Phish performs like a few times a year to pay rent and then go back into hiding.
