All four of Creed's original band members, including drummer Scott Phillips, will reunite for a summer tour and new album. The tour, the band's first in seven years, begins August 6 in Pittsburgh. Says Creed's frontman Scott Stapp to RollingStone.com:"I wouldn't call it a reunion. It's a renewing and a rebirth. I missed my boys and wanted to create music with them again. We're all thrilled to have a second chance to make a first impression."
The reconciliation began in December 2008 when Stapp reached out to Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti. Within 20 minutes they were jamming on acoustic guitars and talking about new songs - five years after their highly acrimonious split.
Soon after they met up with drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall, who left Creed in 2000 but is returning for the new album and tour.
