Mike Tremonti cleared some of this confusion up:
- It would be a side project if he did it
- It does not in anyway mean the end of Creed
- Any mention of $$ is inaccurate
- Mark has not decided for sure if he will do a solo project
- Right now he's busy with SubmurseD
- The length of the break depends on Stapp. Mark's itchy to be playing
