Grammy winning songwriter, platinum solo artist, and voice of Creed, Scott Stapp, has revealed to People that he's a grandpa!

Stapp wrote Creed's signature hit, “With Arms Wide Open”, upon learning his wife was pregnant with his first child in 1998. Now, that child, son Jagger, is all grown up - and a dad himself.

“I have a beautiful, beautiful grandson,” the singer, 50, tells People. “I don’t feel like a grandpa! I look at myself and I’m like, when I was a kid, grandpas had grey hair and a cane. So maybe it’s the food and the vitamins and everything else we’ve learned on how to better take care of ourselves. But a grandpa I am. And a proud one at that.”

Stapp’s son Jagger, 25, and his wife welcomed a baby boy named Cash in September, and the star says the family is “doing great.” Stapp and his wife Jaclyn are also parents to daughter Milan, 17, and sons Daniel, 13, and Anthony, 6 (Jagger’s mom is Stapp’s ex-wife Hillaree Burns).

The singer - whose new solo album Higher Power is out now - says his children are his “purpose” in life, and that his difficult relationship with his stepfather inspired him to step up and “break the generational curse” when it came to fatherhood.
