'''''Proof of Life''''', is the second studio album by American rock singer [[Scott Stapp]] released on November 5, 2013. It's Stapp's first new material since the release of his 2012 uncensored memoir, ''Sinner's Creed'', which Stapp shared his life story for the first time. "This is the most meaningful record of my career," says Stapp. "I've made a lot of messes in my life but I've learned I can take a mess and turn it into a message. This album chronicles my struggles, my journey and it's the most honest record I have ever written".
