After months (years!) of speculation, Creed's original lineup is reuniting for a new album and tour.
The Florida-based band—Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall—has sold close to 35 million albums worldwide since their debut in 1997 and was the first act to have seven consecutive number one rock radio singles.
"We're all very excited to reconnect with our fans and each other after six long years," says guitarist Tremonti.
Drummer Phillips adds: "Our career as Creed came to a very abrupt and unforeseen ending. After reflecting on some of the greatest personal and professional moments of our lives, we've come to realize that we are still very capable of continuing that career and our friendship on a grander scale than ever before."
Bassist Marshall continues: "This is a development we are all happy about. It has been a long time since the four of us have taken the stage together and, without hesitation or reservation, this is something all of us are in to. The anticipation to get back out there is electrifying."
"It's amazing how life can change and bring you full circle," states singer Stapp. "Time gave us all a chance to reflect, grow and gain a deeper appreciation of our friendships, artistic chemistry, passion for music, and sincere love for our fans! It's rare in life to get a second chance to make a first impression and we embrace the opportunity. We all believe the best is yet to come!"
People.com is reporting that the new record Creed is working on is tentatively titled Full Circle. One of the songs Stapp already penned is "Milan Song," written about his 2-year-old daughter. "She's my twin soul, my light," Stapp says. "I do whatever she wants."
