ADLER'S APPETITE Vocalist, Guitarist Quit

March 26, 2011

Vocalist Rick Stitch has left ADLER'S APPETITE — the band led by former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler — in order to concentrate on his Los Angeles-based original project LADYJACK.

Stitch's LADYJACK bandmate Robo (guitar),who was filling in for ADLER'S APPETITE guitarist Alex Grossi on the latter group's most recent European tour, will not be continuing with Adler's outfit.

Grossi recently left ADLER'S APPETITE in order to focus on his work with the resurrected QUIET RIOT.

"I am extremely grateful to have had the experience of writing, recording and performing with Steven and company," says Stitch. "But it is now time for me to concentrate all of my time on LADYJACK."

Remaining ADLER'S APPETITE members:

* Steven Adler (GUNS N' ROSES) - Drums
* Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) - Guitar
* Chip Z'nuff (ENUFF Z'NUFF) - Bass

ADLER'S APPETITE is scheduled to kick off a new U.S. tour on May 5 in Redondo Beach, California.

ADLER'S APPETITE in December released two new singles — "Stardog" and "Fading" — via iTunes and other online music stores.

ADLER'S APPETITE entered the studio in November to begin recording its new album with CINDERELLA drummer Fred Coury producing.

A radio edit of the last ADLER'S APPETITE single, "Alive", was released on July 29, 2010 in conjunction with Adler's tell-all autobiography, "My Appetite for Destruction: Sex, and Drugs, and Guns N' Roses".

Video footage of ADLER'S APPETITE's February 25, 2011 concert at The Diamond in Sutton, United Kingdom can be viewed below.

Stitch made his live debut with ADLER'S APPETITE on April 17, 2009 at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana, California.

LADYJACK released a digital EP in 2010. The band's full-length debut will follow in April.

Steven recently joined the cast of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" for another season.

Adler appeared on season two of "Rehab" and the first season of the spin-off show "Sober House" back in late 2008 and early 2009. Adler then went on to stints in real rehab centers after being ordered to by a judge as part of a DUI bust.
