Artie Lang’s Apparent Suicide Attempt

Reports are coming out all over today that Artie Lang’s hospitalization over the weekend was the result of a suicide attempt.  And not just you run of the mill, “I’m going to take a handful of pills and fall asleep” attempt.  The dude stabbed himself nine times.  Nine times.  I know the guy has been battling demons for a while and my heart goes out to him and his family but that is a crazy way to try to end it all.  You have to have an unbelievable amount of self loathing in order to do something like that.  It’s really sad. Hopefully his friends, family and fans can help him understand all the amazing things he has in his life and how much joy he brings them.  While I have never been a huge fan of Artie my thoughts are with him today.
