Some of their best songs include One Last Breath, Higher, Are You Ready? and With My Arms Wide Open.

Frontman Scott Stapp, real name Anthony Flippen, has had his struggles in the past.

He battled a drug and alcohol addiction in 2004 and had contemplated suicide a year prior.

Scott had a psychotic breakdown in 2014, but was diagnosed with Bipolar a year later.

Speaking to ABCNews, Scott said: "I was so out of my mind, delusional, turned on everyone that I loved, made wild and crazy accusations about my wife.

"I thought I was being followed by the government, I mean, it was a manic paranoid, psychotic episode.

"I was driving around with … a 12-gauge shotgun in my lap. And I thought that people were trying to kill me.

"I would have like, maybe a 45-second interval of, 'What's going on,' and then I'd be right back into the psychosis."
