Stat! Creed Reunion “Imminent”

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the arenas....

Already beset by a deep financial recession, the national mood grew darker this week as word arrived of the forthcoming reunion of mook-rockers Creed. Rumored to be on the table for some time now, the reunion appears to be nearing reality as the former band members hammer things out.

In a report filed by Billboard, vocalist Scott Stapp, estranged since 2004 from guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall (who formed the almost-as-mooky Alter Bridge following the Creed split, is in "prime physical and mental condition" and ready for a reconciliation. A spokesman for the band's old label, Wind-Up, told Billboard that there have been talks, dollars put on the table, and an announcement could be imminent, "but it would be premature to comment on them at this time."

Well, all right then! Who can argue with 26.1 millions sold in the U.S. alone? What do a bunch of pointy headed critics know, anyway?

Fun fact: Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy is reportedly being considered for the singer position in the Robert Plant-less Led Zeppelin reunion that has been floated lately.
