Creed reflects on a difficult year

Though the band saw the end of the year bring a Billboard Award, Creed is relieved that 2002 is almost over. It's been a year of struggles for the Florida group, from the death of guitarist Mark Tremonti's mother to singer Scott Stapp's car accident, followed by vocal troubles and numerous postponed concerts.

Stapp said "It's been a rough year for the band. I think that the biggest loss that the band could ever possibly incur was when Mark lost his mother. That's tough. It's tough for him, it's tough for his friends who care about his family, and then, from that to immediately, you know, which you can't even compare, but when you're still dealing with that and you get something that--boom--you cancel your tour with, and a car wreck and then it just keeps piling on and piling on you're like, 'When is this going to end?'"

But despite every obstacle and challenge in 2002, the band was and still is determined to deliver for its many fans, Stapp explained. "We wanna fight back and we wanna, you know, let the fans know that we don't want to let them down, so we over commit and you lose the voice, so it was just one thing after another, but, I think, you can't complain. It's just life, everyone has to deal with that, everyone has to deal with things. You can't whine."

Scott did not, however, have any comment on his performance in Chicago on Sunday night.

I too was saddened by his show 12/29. I was angry and so let down. We do however have to remember he is human. He made bad choices, we all do. I guess our expectations are what need adjusted. I expected a moving experience with the music from a band I love. If he wants us to expect that from him, then he definatly owes us an explanation . He also should consider how WE feel as well. True he had a bad year, some of us in the audience lost family and friends this year as well .
