Scott Stapp Of Band Creed Says He's Broke

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Creed frontman Scott Stapp says he's broke.

The 41-year-old lead singer of the Grammy-winning band says in a rambling 15-minute-long video posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday that he's living in a hotel. He says he had been living in his truck and had no money for gas or food.

Stapp says money has been stolen from his bank account and royalty payments have not been paid to him.

Stapp denies he's taking drugs or alcohol in the video.

Creed last toured together in 2012. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the 1990s, selling more than 40 million albums. Creed won the Grammy for best rock song for "With Arms Wide Open" in 2001.
