Biography of Steven Adler
Michael Coletti, better known as Steven Adler, was born on January 22, 1965, in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. His father was of Italian American descent, and his mother of Jewish American heritage. Steven Adler is best recognized as the former drummer and songwriter for the prominent hard rock band Guns N’ Roses. He was the first band member to be dismissed by Axl Rose, the band’s lead singer. Adler has also collaborated with other bands such as BulletBoys and Vain.
As a songwriter and drummer of the legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses, Steven Adler has accumulated a net worth of $15 million as of early 2016, with the majority of his wealth coming from his tenure as the drummer for Guns N’ Roses.

In his early years, he resided with his mother after his father left them. They later relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he adopted the name Steven Adler following his mother’s marriage to Melvin Adler. He spent his formative years in the San Fernando Valley until the age of 13. Due to his misbehavior, he was then sent to live with his grandparents. During his time at Bancroft Junior High, he befriended Saul Hudson, who became known in the music industry as Slash. After completing ninth grade, he returned to live with his parents and finished high school. Adler also learned to play the drums and embarked on auditions. Adler, Slash, and Duff McKagan disbanded due to their inability to find a suitable vocalist.
Adler joined Guns N’ Roses in June 1985. The band performed in nightclubs and eventually signed with Geffen Records in 1986. Their debut album, “Appetite for Destruction,” released in 1987, achieved considerable success, selling 28 million records worldwide. Despite years of contributing to the band, Adler gained widespread recognition in the 1990s as a songwriter. However, his heroin addiction began to impact his work ethic and musical abilities, leading to his dismissal from the band. After departing from Guns N’ Roses, Adler briefly played in his former band Road Crew before joining BulletBoys, but neither group achieved critical success. Subsequently, Steven formed the band “Adler,” with which he has been active since 2012.
Following his departure from Guns N’ Roses, Adler’s music career took a backseat as his substance abuse worsened. In 1991, he filed a lawsuit against Guns N’ Roses for unpaid royalties. The case was settled, resulting in a compensation of $2.25 million and granting him a 15% royalty for his earlier contributions to the band. In 2008, Adler participated in the reality TV show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” yet his behavior led to his arrest and community service sentence.
In his personal life, Adler has been married twice. His first marriage to his long-time girlfriend, Cheryl, occurred in June 1989, but ended shortly due to his drug addiction. He later married Caroline Ferreira in 2002. He has been focused on maintaining sobriety while continuing his musical endeavors, albeit without engaging in tours. Nevertheless, his current net worth of $15 million provides for his everyday life.
