Scott Stapp and T.I.: Rapper Rescued Drugged-Up Creed Singer After Near Fatal Suicide Attempt [VIDEO]

Scott Stapp, lead singer of the band Creed, recently admitted in a video promoting his new memoir that rapper T.I. once saved his life from a near fatal suicide attempt. According to Stapp, he was practically lifeless after plummeting from a hotel balcony with no one around to help. That is, until, his hero T.I. arrived, getting the troubled musician help and ultimately saving his life.

In an interview with VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" in promotion of his new memoir "Sinner's Creed," Stapp opened up about his near-death experience and T.I.'s emotional involvement. Stapp admits that during a harrowing drug binge he checked himself into Miami's Delano Hotel - alone. He soon began seeing visions and feeling trapped as if in an asylum, and ultimately threw himself over the patio balcony, falling 40 feet. He ended up fracturing his skull and braking his hip and nose - he couldn't move, and there was no one around to come to his aid. Then out of the shadows walks Stapp's "savior," T.I. Stapp states, "I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up - rapper T.I. He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life."

"It's ironic," Stapp reflects. "He walked in, and I found out later it was the only room left in the hotel and he came in off the street and came out, and as I'm laying on the ledge, blood fell to [T.I.'s] feet and he looked up and he had an Alabama hat on. I said, 'roll tide,' and then he looked at me and put two and two together and really saved my life."

According to Stapp, he'd actually met the "Dead and Gone" rapper once before: "I had met T.I. back in 2004, we were both writing songs for The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By soundtrack and we had briefly interacted there and knew what each looked like. We'd talked about being fans of Alabama."

T.I. should consider "life saving" his second calling - the 32-year-old singer talked an Atlanta man out of jumping off a 22-story building while on the way to a video shoot in 2010. "Nothing is that bad. Nothing in life is worth taking your life," T.I. was overheard telling the man. "I'm here to help you. Please come down to talk to me."
