Biography

Steven Adler (born Michael Coletti; January 22, 1965) is an American musician. He was the drummer and co-songwriter of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he achieved worldwide success in the late 1980s. Adler played on Guns N' Roses' first two albums, Appetite for Destruction (1987) and G N' R Lies (1988). During the recording of the double-album Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II in 1990, he was fired from Guns N' Roses over his heroin addiction, but was featured on the track "Civil War". He reformed his pre-Guns N' Roses band Road Crew before ending his career in 1991. After years of personal struggles, he returned to music in 1998 by briefly joining BulletBoys. From 2003 to 2011, Adler was the drummer for his own band Adler's Appetite, and from 2012 to 2017, he held the same position in the band Adler. He has been performing tours as a solo artist since 2019. Adler appeared on the second (2008) and fifth (2011) seasons of the reality TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, as well as on the first season of its spin-off Sober House (2009). He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Guns N' Roses.
