Scott Stapp , the lead singer of the band Creed , revealed he was living in a Holiday Inn and `` penniless '' in a nearly 16-minute Facebook video post early Wednesday morning . Stapp , who earned worldwide fame in the late '90s and early 2000s with songs like `` With Arms Wide Open '' and `` Higher , '' alleged he was under `` some kind of vicious attack '' because the funds in his bank accounts were stolen by people he knows or frozen by the IRS . In the video , he detailed how he had to sleep in his truck for a couple of weeks and , at one point , did n't have enough money to eat for two days . `` I ca n't sit back anymore and allow this to continue and allow my children to be embarrassed and humiliated by the action of others , '' he said . At the end , he urged fans who can offer their legal services to contact him so he can get back on track . According to TMZ , a representative for the Palm Beach County Sheriff 's Office conducted a wellness check last week with Stapp and his wife and found no cause for concern . The Grammy winner has battled with alcohol and drug addiction in the past , but assures viewers he has not relapsed and has `` rededicated my life to Christ . ''
