Former Guns and Rose’s drummer Steven Adler has finally found his sobriety. Ironically, he can thank the very reason for his drug abuse—Axl Rose.
“I listed to the new GNR album, and it really sucks,” said Adler. “I am so glad I’m not involved with it.”
Adler increased his already rampant drug use after getting kicked out of the band. It was a downward spiral that nearly killed him.
“I used every day,” remembered Adler. “I tried to forget the pain. It was tough to watch their success.”
Adler resented getting dismissed from the band for excessive drug abuse.
