It is sad to think that probably drugs is what the hell happened.

Time of day would suggest cooking accident.  Usually it's a finger but....

Hope he's doing okay and a speedy recovery.

I'd suggest it's likely.

Ex Guns N’ Roses Drummer Steven Adler’s Injury Was an Accident, Not a Suicide Attempt
Rob Arcand June 28, 2019 3:14 pm



Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler was hospitalized the evening of Thursday, June 27, after reportedly stabbing himself in the stomach at his Los Angeles home, but his rep says it wasn’t a suicide attempt. The musician’s rep told TMZ, who was first to break the news, that Adler just had an accident that caused a “very minor, very superficial wound.” The cause of the accident was not revealed.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to SPIN earlier Friday that officers had responded to the Studio City residence after a 911 call, and that a subject was transported to a local hospital for “non-life-threatening injuries.” An early TMZ report and subsequent update from People reported that it was a possible suicide attempt.

Adler publicly struggled with drug addiction, which ultimately led to his departure from Guns N’ Roses in 1990. The representative also confirmed that the musician remains committed to his sobriety—a decision he made in 2008 after attending rehab. “I work at it every day,” he told CNN in 2012.

Guns N’ Roses embark on another leg of their “Not in This Lifetime” North American tour in September, with dates in the U.S. and Mexico. Adler previously made several guest appearances on an earlier leg. His rep did tell TMZ that the drummer is still scheduled to perform his July 12 show in Las Vegas.

SPIN has reached out to Adler’s representatives for a statement. This piece will be updated as the story develops.

Thank goodness it wasn't a suicide attempt.  Sweet Jesus, the fucking media will say anything.   ::)

And Steven, you've definitely overcome too much in your life to go out like that anyway!

I am not so sure I buy this. If it was an accident, Steven would have been the first guy in front of the camera laughing it off and getting free publicity.  :-\

Sorry to say that but it does beg the question...

. Well there are many easier & faster ways to kill yourself...harakiri with a kitchen knife is just out of this world... if he did this maybe he was just out of his mind (drugs again) or he’s protecting someone else. Who knows, we’ll see.

That was nice/socially responsible of spin to include the suicide hotline info at the end.

Maybe he still will.  It only just happened.

Yeah, doesn't add up for me.  You'd really have to really do a number on yourself if you're going the "kitchen knife to the belly" route.

It's also telling that Steven is still slated to perform his July 12 show, meaning he never intended harm.

A very similar thing happened to Artie Lange. He and is representatives claimed it wasn't a suicide attempt. He finally set the record straight years later that he was in fact trying to kill himself.

The more he, his people, and his "fans" make excuses... the less likely he is ever going to get better.

I truly hope he finds peace sometime soon.

"He chugged from a bottle of bleach, stabbed himself in the stomach nine times and slit his wrists"... Well, not very similar.

Btw we are not making excuses...it would be just a strange suicide attempt. Anyway, now we can ask his rep  why is he stil hospitalized if it were just a superfical wound...

Similar in that a lifelong 'celeb' drug addict stabbed himself and their "representatives" came out like Baghdad Bob saying "nothing to see here"

Agreed, there was positively nobody who was "making excuses" for anything.  And no, what was reported here with Steven was not at all similar to Artie Lange.  It is indeed strange to hear of a cut to the stomach being reported as a suicide attempt.

Maybe he isn't.  We just haven't heard anything one way or the other.

Maybe nothing.  Maybe we've already heard everything there is to know and everything else was blown way out of proportion.  That would be my guess.

I'd definitely go for that too. I have my suspicions that the word 'stabbed' might have been used over 'cut' as well.

Glad it wasn't a suicide attempt. Steven is just really terrible at working knives apparently.
