GUNS N' ROSES: Former Drummer Steven Adler Talks About Relapsing & Returning To Rehab!

As previously reported, ADLER, the band featuring former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler, have been forced to postpone their previously announced "Back From The Dead" summer tour due to Steven checking into rehab in order to continue working on his sobriety. Here is what Steven had to say about relapsing and returning to rehab:

"I picked up a bottle and drank. This occurred a few times and that is a few times too many. I knew that this had to permanently stop. That is the moment I picked up the phone, before it got out of hand, to get help.

"I had kicked hard drugs several years ago and now it is time to get rid of the urges of drinking alcohol.

"I am at a great facility and will stay here until I am comfortable to be home to work the program on my own.

"I love you all for understanding, being patient and supporting my decision.

"Like my peers, I will beat this too, so I can return to music and beat my drums!"

The band issued a statement saying: "We are truly sorry to all of the fans and promoters who were looking forward to seeing us on the road, but right now Steven's health is the most important thing. We hope to make it up to everyone when Steven recovers." The dates are being rescheduled to the fall.
