Creed reunion-tour plan 'near completion'

We all keep hearing the rumor's of the reunion. According to this, a tour is currently being hammered out!!!

NEW YORK -- Creed is hammering out details for a lucrative 2009 reunion tour, sources said. The Scott Stapp-led group, one of the top sellers of the past decade, has not performed since a rancorous split in June 2004.

Stapp promptly embarked on a solo career, while guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and original bassist Brian Marshall formed Alter Bridge with vocalist Myles Kennedy and released two albums. Their 2004 Wind-Up debut, "One Day Remains," sold 496,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan; a 2006 follow-up for Universal, "Blackbird," has moved 227,000 units.

But Kennedy is rumored to be the top contender to replace Robert Plant for a tour with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. And following a recent USO tour performing for American servicemen oversees, Stapp is said to be in prime physical and mental condition.

As such, there are "significant dollars" on the table for a Creed trek, according to sources close to the situation, who said an official announcement could be imminent. A spokesperson for Wind-Up said, "There have been some talks, but it would be premature to comment on them at this time."

Creed has sold 26.1 million albums in the United States since 1997, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The group also was a significant touring presence, having grossed $70.3 million from 220 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore between November 1997 and December 2002.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.

I really hope they tour in england uk or give me plenty of notice that it will only be a US tour so I can get to America.

I never got the chance to see Creed live before and regreted it for so long.

Re: Creed reunion-tour plan 'near completion'

This would be fantastic imo, if/when they can repair old wounds.. I don't think they will be able to just ignore them and try and move on.

I don't usually like to use the word "sellout" but if Mark, Flip, and Brian agree to do this, then that's what they are. Gigantic sellouts.

I agree and I hope this doesn't happen. Mark and Scott P were so happy to get out of the 'box' they were forced to live and work in with Creed. Even if Myles goes out on the road with LZ I would rather wait a little longer for Alter Bridge to pick back up. I'm even content occasionally listening to Stapp's solo album.

I've said it before. Creed was great, but I'm so over them. Record sales and marketability aside, Alter Bridge has turned out to be such a huge leap forward I would hate to see the guys fall back

I'm not wishing for it, but if it happens, I'd probably go to a show or two, out of curiosity if nothing else.

I don't know if doing a one-year reunion tour would make them sellouts. Now, if they were to disband AB permanently and started writing new Creed songs that sound exactly like the old material, that would be selling out.

But if Kiss Does A Reuion Tour Every Time that feel like thats ok i think it would be completley obsered to call a reunion a sell out

I don't mean because of the money. I mean, after the stuff they've said, stuff of record that's been published endlessly in various media outlets, about how they'd never get reunite Creed for any amount of money, for them to do so is bull. Stick by your word and don't crumble at the sight of a few dollar signs. If you're bored while Myles has fun with Zeppelin, then go do a solo album or something.
