Former Guns N' Roses Drummer Steven Adler Hospitalised After Reportedly Stabbing Himself

Ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler has been hospitalised after reportedly stabbing himself in the stomach.

According to celebrity news website TMZ, medical personnel and police offers were called to Steven's home shortly after 6:30pm on Thursday (June 27) to reports that someone had stabbed themselves.

The TMZ report goes on to reveal that Steven was allegedly found with stab wounds in his stomach, and was taken to hospital with "non-life threatening injuries".

Steven Adler was a part of the classic Guns N' Roses line-up, recording their iconic debut album Appetite For Destruction in 1987, but was dismissed in 1990 due to his ongoing issues with substance abuse.

Despite not being a full-time member of GN'R since then, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with the band in 2012.

Steven appeared as a special guest for a few shows with Guns N' Roses as part of the Not In This Lifetime… reunion tour. The epic worldwide tour, which was been going since 2016, recently added even more dates for the United States later this year.
