Sully Erna, the frontman for American hard rock quartet Godsmack, has launched a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues.


The mission of The Scars Foundation is to provide resources and tools to educate and empower people around the world who struggle with mental health. Its partners include the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and MusiCares.

“Scars come in all forms,” Sully says in a press release. “They are physical and emotional. They’re traumatizing and make us fear what people may think of us.

But we are all imperfect in some way. That’s what makes us perfect and unique! Everyone has something that makes him or her insecure or embarrassed. But instead of hiding them or internalizing them, own them and show them off to the world! Let them empower you so you can be a voice for everyone who can’t be. If we all wear our scars loudly and proudly, others will follow.”

Superfan Corrals 33,000 Music Videos and Classic Commercials on ‘MTV Rewind’ Site After Shutdown of Overseas Music-Only Channels

The move came after the once-influential network shuttered its remaining 24/7 music channels across a number of European and overseas territories in December.

In the end, video didn’t just kill the radio star, it did itself in as well. After MTV’s parent company pulled the plug on its remaining music-only channels in the U.K., Ireland and Australia on New Year’s Eve — including MTV Music, MTV ’80s, MTV Live, Club MTV and MTV ’90s, among others — as part of a $500 million cost-cutting effort, fans of the once-dominant media brand lamented the end of an era.

And while false rumors suggested the move meant a total shutdown of the MTV brand — it did not — many former admirers were still moved to pay tribute to the formerly vital music video channel that made megastars out of Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and so many more in the 1980s and ’90s.
