The heavily rumored Creed reunion has been officially confirmed, as all four original members are back together for a summer tour and new album. Singer Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall will hit the road starting August 6 in Pittsburgh and tour until October 14 in Nashville. The reconciliation reportedly began last December when Stapp reached out to Tremonti and the two decided to patch things up. They soon met up with Phillips and Marshall (who left Creed in 2000), and everyone got on the same page. Stapp and Tremonti already have made six demos for the new album, which they plan on recording shortly in Nashville. The band is currently shopping for a top-shelf producer.
"We’re reached out to Brendan O’Brien, Mutt Lange, Bob Rock, Steve Lillywhite and six or seven more," Stapp told Rolling Stone. "We want to put ourselves around the best and have them bring out the best in us and challenge us as artists." He added that the song "Full Circle" will likely be the title track for the new CD. "It’s a favorite for all of us," he said. "It really defines and articulates, melody-wise and lyrically, what’s happened with us. We’ve come full circle and it’s a great place to be. The goal is to release the first single before the tour and have the album come out during the tour or right after."
As for the reunion, Tremonti stated, "We're all very excited to reconnect with our fans and each other after six long years." Phillips added, "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."
