During the 1990s, hard rockers Creed sold 50million albums. But last year the band's front man, Scott Stapp, found himself in the news - ranting about Islamic State and Barack Obama assassination plots - thanks to bipolar disorder that threatened to destroy his marriage and his life.A year on, Stapp has done a complete 180. He's touring and will be in South Africa next month. He spoke about his struggle with bipolar disorder, visiting South Africa for the first time and whether the band will reunite.Why did you decide to share your struggle with bipolar disorder?I'd made a public mess that people didn't understand. I wanted to share my journey to set the record straight about my behaviour and also to make sure fans who are struggling with similar demons could see you can make it out the other side.How difficult was it to do Couples Therapy (an American reality TV show in which celebrities undergo relationship counselling)?It was difficult in Couples Therapy, but [it was] something Jaclyn and I decided to do, not only for our marriage but for other struggling couples who might have gone through something similar. We're open about our past problems. We've overcome challenges with addiction and the honesty, commitment and love in this journey has made our relationship stronger.Jaclyn understands me and my disease, and stood by me. She's my rock, my best friend and the coolest chick I know.Your relationship with the other Creed members?Positive. It's great to see them and catch up. I have a unique relationship with each of them.Flip [Scott Phillips] and I love golf. We recently played together in a tournament.Mark [Tremonti] is a great talent; he brings out the best in our songwriting. We wrote 10 hit songs together - there's a lot of chemistry there.Brian [Marshall] and I were college roommates. We go way back.Is there a chance the band will get back together?It's always a possibility - if the time is right. I want us to come together from a pure place where everyone feels comfortable and we get back to the roots of how we started. I have so much respect for them; we've all grown artistically.What's the one thing you hope fans take away from your performances?I hope they will recognise the journey I've taken after being a captive of my demons. I know others have felt like this. I want them to know they can free themselves too.Scott Stapp will perform in South Africa on December 12, 13 and 15. See breakout.nutickets.co.za..
