Ryan Adams Reveals He’s 9 Months Sober, Excited to Play for Fans Again

Ryan Adams is ready to get back to performing for his fans — after some of the most difficult years of his life — telling us his prep has him 9 months sober and super sore!

We got the singer-songwriter out on a run at The Hollywood Reservoir Wednesday, a place that’s become familiar to Ryan as of late. He tells us he’s been working through his mental health struggles with 5-6 miles of running per day, and it’s also helped him stay clean.

He’s also mounting a comeback after a 2019 New York Times report accusing him of sending sexual messages to an underage fan as well as being “manipulative, obsessive and controlling” with 7 other women — including his ex-wife Mandy Moore and singer Phoebe Bridgers.

Eventually, the FBI cleared Adams in the underage messages case — but he hadn’t really gotten on stage since then.

Now, he’s just announced an 8-gig string of shows — including Chicago and Milwaukee — to start in October … this after he quietly took the stage for 5 comeback shows in May. Sources close tell us ticket sales have already been strong … proving fans still wanna see him in action.

While Ryan wouldn’t exactly tell us his thoughts on cancel culture — avoiding the topic by reminding us just how sore he was — you gotta imagine he’s excited about the chance of a legit comeback.
