ADLER'S APPETITE To Embark On First Full U.S. Tour

The band led by Steven Adler, legendary drummer of GUNS N ROSESВ  and star of the hit VH1 series 'Celebrity Rehab', will embark on a full U.S. tour first time ever this spring. The group will perform the iconic GN'R album 'Appetite For Destruction' in its entirety along with other classics and some surprises.

The trek is scheduled to kick off late February and run through early April.

ADLER'S APPETITE's current lineup is rounded out by singer Sheldon Tarsha, Alex Grossi (HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, ex-QUIET RIOT) on guitar, Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) on guitar, and Chip Z'nuff (ENUFF Z'NUFF) on bass.

ADLER'S APPETITE commemorated the 20th anniversary of GNR's classic debut 'Appetite for Destruction' in 2007 by touring South America. However, Adler was forced to cancel a European tour with the band due to 'personal issues.'

A court commissioner in Los Angeles agreed last month to place Adler in a state-sanctioned drug rehabilitation program and keep the drummer out of prison.

Adler's court appearance came a day after TV audiences watched him graduate from a drug-treatment program that is the focus of VH1's show 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew'.

Adler was arrested in Los Angeles on July 18, 2008 after someone called police to report he was causing a disturbance.

The other members of GUNS N' ROSES band threw Adler out in 1989, saying his drug use was harming his performance. In 1993, the band agreed to pay him $2.3 million to settle Adler's lawsuit claiming a 1990 agreement by which he gave up his interest in the band was read to him and signed without his attorney present.
