Scott Stapp has been given the go-ahead from doctors to hit the road, and

that is exactly what he's going to do.

After postponing the initial second leg of the Weathered tour due to

the singer's back injury in a car accident on April 19 (see [article id="1453739"]"Scott Stapp

Discusses Accident That Derailed Creed Tour"[/article]), Creed have rescheduled the

tour to begin July 11 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The new 30-date second leg will make up canceled shows in Indianapolis;

Fargo, North Dakota; and Moline, Illinois; on a jaunt mainly through the

Midwest and Northeast.

Creed have also scheduled a third leg that will begin September 20 in San

Antonio, Texas, and make up canceled shows in several cities. Venues, on-sale dates and openers have not been announced for those dates.

Louisiana rockers 12 Stones will open on all the dates on the second leg

and former Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell will lend support in

selected cities. Tickets for the tour will go on sale on

various dates throughout June and early July. Tickets from the cancelled

dates will not be honored.

Stapp, who suffered a torn disk in his lower back and a bulging disk in his

neck from the accident that caused Creed to cancel 20 dates, was cleared by

doctors after enduring a physical-therapy and strengthening program,

according to his spokesperson at Wind-Up Records.

The first leg of Creed's Weathered tour kicked off in Atlanta on January 16
