Creed has sold something like 30 million albums in the United States, but today lead singer Scott Stapp revealed that he is "penniless" and living in a Holiday Inn. 
 
 That is according to a 15-minute video titled "Public Statement #1," which you can watch over on his Facebook page. According to Stapp, he recently looked over his finances and realized that his money had been secretly stolen. Via Rolling Stone: 
 
 "About eight weeks ago, I began an audit of not only my record company but my personal finances," Stapp says. "During the course of that audit, a lot of things were uncovered. A lot of money was stolen from me, or royalties not paid, and that's when all hell began to break loose." 
 
 He says further that he was recently living in his truck without money for food or gas. 
 
 Earlier this week, the Miami Herald reported that Stapp's wife, ex-Miss USA Jaclyn Stapp, filed for divorce and asked for full custody of the couple's children. In her filing, Jaclyn released recent text messages she says she received from Scott, including: 
 
 ▪ "Florida is not safe. Biological weapons on the way. U have to leave with kids and meet me in Atlanta." ▪ "I'm coming to get you Satan and children. No mercy. You know how this ends. God created you and now God is ending you." ▪ "God is also telling me something about Palm Springs and Nashville so there's a connection somehow. He's also telling me DEA for some reason." ▪ "Wells Fargo working out my account problems. I'm out of gas. Haven't eaten all day. I'm asking if they can spot me $1,000 so I don't fall over from malnutrition." ▪ "I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous." 
 
 Jaclyn says in the divorce papers that Stapp has recently been using drugs. In the video posted to Facebook, Stapp insists he is sober.

– Creed, the hard-rock group that rose to the top of the charts in the late '90s with hits like "Higher" and "Arms Wide Open," isn't currently touring, which has apparently left Scott Stapp in a bit of a spot, Variety reports. The group's frontman posted a 15-minute video on Facebook yesterday in which he reveals he's broke, homeless, and a victim of a "clerical error" by the IRS that helped clean out his wallet. "Right now I'm living in a Holiday Inn, by the grace of God, because there's been a couple of weeks I had to sleep in my truck," he says in the video, labeled "Public Statement #1" (meaning perhaps there's more to come?). "I had no money, not even for gas or food. I went two days without eating because I had no money and ended up in an emergency room." He goes on to explain that "a lot of money was stolen from me" and "royalties not paid" and insists that he's completely sober and can prove it. One Facebook commenter worries that Stapp may be having a "nervous breakdown," but maybe the singer's confession has more to do with the divorce and full custody of his three children that his wife filed for this week, as noted by Gawker. Ex-beauty queen Jaclyn Stapp, who has been married to Scott for eight years, says her husband took off from their home in October and has been going on drug binges and threatening to hurt himself and his family, the Miami Herald reports. He's also apparently been sending her weird texts with statements like "Florida is not safe. Biological weapons on the way. U have to leave with kids and meet me in Atlanta" and "I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous." (A Norwegian teen says Creed songs saved him from being attacked by wolves.)
