The revelations of his book

The band appeared strongly on the music scene and quickly rose to the top of the charts thanks to songs like 'Break Stuff,' 'Rollin' and 'Take a Look Around.'

In 2015, Rivers stepped away from the group due to health problems, which he later revealed in the book Raising Hell: Backstage Tales From the Lives of Metal Legends(2020) were the consequence of a liver disease brought on by excessive alcohol consumption, as recalled by The New York Post.
