RICHIE SAMBORA

Tyler, 60, checked himself into rehab last week (beg19May08) - 20 years after his first attempt to kick his drug and alcohol problems.

But Sambora - who has also struggled to break free of his addictions, which culminated in an arrest for drink-driving in March (08) - insists Tyler is strong enough to fight his demons once and for all.

He says, "I don't think I'm the best person to give Steve advice. Steve is a big boy and he's been through that drill quite a few times.

"I knew that he was having some problems and was on pain medication so I'm guessing he went in for that. Good luck to him."
