According to TMZ, former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler was rushed to the hospital after stabbing himself at his home. Law enforcement sources tell the site a 911 call was placed from Adler's Los Angeles residence shortly after 6:30 Thursday night (June 27) to report that someone had sustained a self-inflicted stab wound. When cops and paramedics arrived, they discovered it was Adler who had suffered a stab wound to his stomach. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
