Creed recently announced that they were back through a video on X, featuring Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Philipps, and bassist Brian Marshall.

The video showed the frontman, Stapp, entering a home studio and meeting Tremonti, Phillips, and Marshall; marking that the act has officially made a comeback from their 2012 hiatus. The post’s caption read:

“Are you ready? [Hashtag] Need for Creed.”

Although the band has been quiet about a reunion over the years, Tremonti had recently discussed the possibility of reuniting back in March, saying:

“It’s just a matter of timing for everybody… Everybody’s juggling so many projects, we would just have to find a window where it made sense. There’s always people talking. We always get calls from people that are interested in putting a show together.”

The guitarist then continued, adding why it would be challenging to bring Creed back :

“It’s tough to get a band that hasn’t toured in 10 years to just do a show. We would have to put it all together. We would have to put weeks into preparing the production and weeks into doing the rehearsals.”

Creed will reportedly be headlining the Summer of ’99 Cruise in 2024, and as Tremonti stated, the band will, probably, also celebrate their reunion with a long-run tour.

During a revealing Q&A with Kerrang in 2020, Kirk gave us a deeper look into his life, sharing everything from his biggest life regret to the backstory of Metallica’s iconic ‘The Black Album.’

The guitarist revealed that quitting alcohol was a hard choice he had to make while he was still enjoying it. In hindsight, he expressed he would’ve liked to drop the habit much sooner if he could.

On the creation of ‘The Black Album,’ Kirk stated:

“As we were wrapping up the Damaged Justice tour back in 1989, we were already bouncing new musical ideas off each other. That’s when the ‘Sad But True’ riff was born. Our then-bassist, Jason Newsted, had really melded with us, and we had grown into a more cohesive band during that tour. We were feeling good and ready to make another powerful statement in music. Around this time, MTV and radio had started playing our music, and the mainstream media was catching on. Everything was falling into place.”

Turning toward more personal matters, Kirk opened up about his past struggles with alcohol that affected his life for about 15 years:

“If I could rewind time, I would’ve quit drinking a good 10 or 15 years earlier. I won’t lie, there was a time when I relished my wild, alcohol-fueled adventures. But then the tables turned, and alcohol became more of a foe than a friend.

Each drink I took seemed to do more harm than good, moving me further away from enjoyment and relaxation. That’s the catch with alcohol – if you’re not careful, it can suddenly turn things upside down.”

Sharing more about this chapter of his life, Metallica star added:

“I used to party all night after shows for decades. Then I’d return to my hotel room, play guitar for hours, and the next day, I’d draw a blank. I’d look at my recordings and think, ‘What’s all this?’ But since quitting alcohol, now when I play, I remember everything.

I can pick up where I left off the previous night. I still see myself evolving as a musician, and I appreciate having a clear mind and a strong bond with my music and my instrument. I just wish I’d arrived at this point earlier in life. But, as they say, everything happens for a reason.”

In a recent interview with BBC, Rick Astley discussed the possibility of covering an AC/DC song at Glastonbury.

Astley was one of the names to play in the Glastonbury Festival, and being his first time in the festival, the singer was asked several questions before the show. He was asked if he would cover ‘Highway To Hell’ as he did in his earlier shows, to which he replied with:

“Who knows? We’ll see how we feel tomorrow. I’m going to just judge the audience and see what they’re up for, and if they’re up for a bit of that, then we might do that. We’re just going to see how it goes.”

During the interview, Astley clarified that he owned many rock records during his earlier days. He said:

“I used to be a drummer as a kid, and I don’t think that ever leaves you, and I think all the records that I taught myself the drums to were rock records. And that album, ‘Highway To Hell’, is just one of the greatest records to try to learn the drums to.”

As for the answer to the question above, yes. Astley did cover ‘Highway To Hell’ at Glastonbury.

Evidently, the singer’s admiration for rock music didn’t fade with time. In 2021, Astley shared a few videos on TikTok, pretending to play his guitar to Slipknot and The Strokes songs. In a later video, he covered R.E.M.’s 1987 song ‘The One I Love‘.

Similarly, he covered Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’, leading him to play with the band at Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival.
