Shinedown singer Brent Smith says there's a great reason why he recently dropped 70 pounds: "I got really really fat."
He got that way because he was stressed out, he drank too much and he let himself go. The inspiration to change came when his girlfriend told him a lot of people rely on him and he's much stronger when he's clear-headed.
Smith says he also didn't want people to come to a show and see him with his gut hanging over his belt. Smith quit drinking, got a trainer and did the Insanity fitness program.
He says he used to just stand there on stage but now he's all over the place.
