Scott Stapp

T.I.

recently saved his life after a suicide attempt, in part by engaging the suicidal singer in a conversation about Alabama football.

"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," Stapp revealed. "We'd talked about being fans of Alabama."

Stapp revealed that during a drug binge in a Miami hotel, he jumped off the 4th story balcony of his hotel room breaking his hip and nose and fracturing his skull. T.I., who was also looking for a room in the hotel, happened to find Stapp laying on the ground and immediately took action to save the injured singer's life.

"It's ironic -- 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."
