Drummer Steven Adler has released the following statement explaining why he felt the need to go back into 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!”
As previously reported, Steven’s band, Adler, had to postpone their summer tour due while Adler continues to work on his sobriety.
