Steven Adler is an American musician who rose to fame as the drummer of the hard rock band Guns N’ Roses, with whom he achieved worldwide success in the late 1980s.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 22, 1965, Adler was raised in a Jewish household. His father, Michael, was a drummer, and his mother, Deanna, was a housewife. Adler has an older brother, Jamie, and a younger sister, Staci.

Adler began playing drums at the age of five. He took lessons from his father and later from Joe Porcaro, a member of the rock band Toto. Adler’s first band was Road Crew, which he formed with his childhood friend Slash (later of Guns N’ Roses).

Adler’s career took off in 1985 when he joined Guns N’ Roses. The band’s debut album, Appetite for Destruction (1987), was a massive success, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide. Adler’s drumming style was a key element of the band’s sound.

Adler’s time with Guns N’ Roses was marred by drug addiction, which led to his dismissal from the band in 1990. He subsequently struggled with addiction for many years.

In recent years, Adler has overcome his addiction and has been working steadily as a musician. He has released two solo albums, Back from the Dead (2012) and My Way (2014). He has also toured with his own band, Steven Adler’s Appetite for Destruction.

Adler has an estimated net worth of $5 million. He has been married twice and has three children.
