Creed unveils rescheduled tour dates
Originally due to kick off in late April, the latest leg of Creed’s “Weathered” tour will begin in July now that frontman Scott Stapp has sufficiently recovered from injuries he suffered in the April car accident that derailed the outing.
Originally due to kick off in late April, the latest leg of Creed’s “Weathered” tour will begin in July now that frontman Scott Stapp has sufficiently recovered from injuries he suffered in the April car accident that derailed the outing.
The rescheduled jaunt is divided into two legs, the first of which runs from mid-July until early September. The second leg starts in late September, but venues have not yet been confirmed for that round of dates.
New tickets will be sold for all dates; tickets for previously-scheduled shows that were canceled will not be honored. Ticket-holders can obtain a refund at the point of purchase.
The group plans to add more dates to the tour’s first leg, and will soon announce additional details about the second leg, according to the band’s publicist.
Stapp was injured in late April when another driver rear-ended the S.U.V. he was driving. The singer’s injuries included a torn disc in his lower back and a bulging disc in his neck.
Doctors have cleared Stapp to resume touring, and were “happy with the success of a rigorous physical therapy and strengthening program,” according to a band press release.
Creed is touring in support of its multi-platinum 2001 release, “Weathered.” The group plans to play 70 shows before the end of the year.
The first leg of the Creed’s summer tour will, on various dates, feature support from the group’s Wind Up Records labelmates 12 Stones, as well as former Alice in Chains guitarist-singer Jerry Cantrell. More details are available at Creed’s official website.
