Creed

Creed is an American rock band formed in Tallahassee, Florida in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums. Human Clay (1999), the band's second studio album, received diamond (11× platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 25 million records in the United States, over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.

For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, lead guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips, and bassist Brian Marshall. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite generally unfavorable critical reception. Marshall would leave the band in 2000. Human Clay contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open", which won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 2001. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. After Creed disbanded in 2004, Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Phillips, and Marshall founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.

Creed reunited in 2009, released their fourth and final album Full Circle that year and toured before parting ways once again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited again in July 2023 and subsequently announced headlining tours in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
