Godsmack’s Sully Erna has announced the formation of The Scars Foundation. The frontman established the organization in an effort to “help raise awareness of the mental health issues that so many are faced with today.” He said the following:
“Scars come in all forms. 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.”
