Paramedics were called to Adler’s home last night where he was transported to the local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The circumstances surrounding Adler’s stabbing is unclear, but no one is suspected to have been involved. It is suspected this was a suicide attempt.
Adler has openly struggled with substance abuse for decades through his Guns N’ Roses career. He got kicked out of the band in 1990, but was later inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame with the original band in 2012.
