Scott Stapp Tour - As the front man for Creed, Scott Stapp became one of the world's biggest rock stars in the '90s. However, today he claimed he's penniless and homeless. On Wednesday morning, a 16-minute video posted on Facebook reveals the financial crisis the singer is currently experiencing.
Since Creed's comeback tour in 2012, Scott Stapp was not seen by any of his band mates. In a surprising and alarming confessional video posted on his Facebook page, Stapp said he's under attack, broke and living out of a hotel. Though it not like him to post a video, CBS News said 41-year-old Stapp said he wanted to set the record straight despite the rumors surrounding his personal life.
In spite of the comeback tour, Scott Stapp revealed about the start of an audit to his finances and claimed that a lot of money have been stolen from him and royalties have gone unpaid. At the peak of his career, Stapp has an estimated net worth of $30 million, as listed by The Richest.
"There are people that have taken advantage of me and stolen money from me," Stapp said. "And they're trying to discredit me, slander me. That's when all hell began to break loose."
In 2013, Stapp released a solo album called, "Proof of Life," with Christian radio stations playing singles "Slow Suicide" and "Dying To Live." In a USA Today report, Scott Stapp had scheduled a two-and-a-half week November tour. However, it was cancelled in October due to health concerns.
Currently, there are no schedules for an upcoming tour for Scott Stapp or Creed. On the other hand, People reported Stapp believed his financial problems can be traced back to an audit conducted eight weeks ago into his personal finances and record company. He also claimed that the IRS suddenly froze his bank account that left him completely penniless.
"There's been a couple weeks where I had to sleep in my truck," Stapp stated. "I had no money, not even for gas or food. ... I went two days without eating, 'cause I had no money, and ended up in an emergency room."
In 2009, Scott Stapp was reunited with Creed for "Full Circle" with an accompanying tour. Meanwhile, Stapp's wife filed for divorce earlier this month. The Daily Mail said Stapp's wife, Jaclyn Nesheiwat, claimed he was using amphetamines, crystal meth, and steroids in her divorce paperwork.
Although Creed has sold over 50 million record worldwide and had done several successful tours, Scott Stapp revealed he has currently $616 in cash.
