Ex-GUNS N' ROSES Drummer STEVEN ADLER Confirms VH1 'Sober Living' Rumors; Video Available - July 15, 2008
Lynn Hernandez of Tulsa, Oklahoma's 97.5 KMOD radio station conducted an interview with former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler at this past weekend's (July 9-13) Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma. Watch the seven-minute chat below.

Adler has confirmed that he has agreed to participate in the proposed VH1 "Celebrity Rehab" spinoff called "Sober Living". Also rumored to be taking part is CRAZY TOWN singer Seth "Shifty" Binzer.

The show, which would be a cross between "Surreal Life" and "The Real World", would put a number of "Celebrity Rehab" alumni together in a luxurious Beverly Hills mansion for 30 days while they try to rebuild their careers without drugs and alcohol, according to the New York Post.

Like "Celebrity Rehab", the new show would prominently feature Dr. Drew Pinsky ("Loveline"), who oversees the celebs during their stints in televised rehab.

Steven Adler last month underwent detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los Angeles area on the second season of the hit reality series "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew". The series, consisting of eight one-hour episodes, is slated to premiere October 2008 on VH1.

Similar to the first cycle, the second season of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" will follow Jeff Conaway as he checks back into rehab after a series of back surgeries, setbacks and subsequent reliance on pain medications. Joining him in rehab are Sean Stewart ("Sons of Hollywood"), Amber Smith (model/actress), Rodney King, Nikki McKibbon ("American Idol"), Adler and Tawny Kitaen. Gary Busey, who is 13 years sober from his cocaine addiction, will also be joining the cast to take the journey with the others and to share his experiences on the recovery process.

The series will chronicle the patients' intensive 21-day program with both group and one-on-one therapy and non-traditional therapies like art and music. Returning to the show to help Dr. Drew are drug counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague who have each spent years on both sides of the rehab fence. Dr. Drew is also bringing in some additional prominent physicians to help him give the patients supplementary one-on-one care. The patients' families will also be more involved with their recovery programs and, in some cases, will receive treatment themselves. After they completed the program, the patients will be strongly encouraged to continue their treatment in a sober living facility or treatment center for at least three months at VH1's expense.

Steve-O, I think you should have considered rehab BEFORE the drug-induced stroke.

Needs to realise that its only got a 0.2% chance of happening. Alder fucked his body up too much back in the day. I doubt he could even keep in rhythm on the kit anymore. Maybe he could for one reunion show, but not for a whole tour, no way...

And more reasons as to why it won't happen:
- Axl refuses to accept that his band is no longer known as "Guns N' Roses", rather "The Axl Rose Band"
- Slash and Duff are both stuck into Velvet Revolver, plus Slash is releasing a solo album sometime soon
- I doubt those guys would be able to stand each other anymore... Axl is just as volitile as he was 20 years ago, there's no way he could put up with them

Is a disgusting low-life scumbag exploiting people with problems. This is NOT the sort of therapy that should be done on TV. This is sickening and it's disgusting people watch this shit.

I really hope everyone trying to clean up their act manages to, but this parasite is making it a lot harder for them by including them in this circus. This is a modern equilvelant of a freak show.

COMMENT | Never!

The Reunion won't happen. At least I hope it never does.
