Steven's GNR cover band, Adler's Appetite, were to tour Europe to mark the 20th anniversary of the GNR classic "Appetite for Destruction". Chip Z'nuff issued a statement to fans about the abrupt turn of events: "We sincerely apologize to all our friends and fans for the cancellation of this tour. Of course, Steven loves to play and meet his fans. Unfortunately, he has some personal issues that prevented him from participating. He was optimistic about doing the shows, but when it came down to it, he just couldn't.

"Steven's like a brother to us, and we just want to see him healthy. We're looking forward to making up these shows next year. Please forgive us, and thank you for your patience and understanding. Peace."
