From Steven’s Twitter today:
“Thank you, everyone, for your concern. I had to do this and I’m getting it together.”
Hmm. Cryptic. I hope he’s back on his feet soon.
Kliph says on the official Lips site that it’s NOT a heroin relapse. My guess is alcohol. Either way, he’s doing something about it. That makes me happy. Get well soon, Mr. Drozd!
