Bobby Brown Checks Himself Into Rehab For Alcohol Addiction

We haven’t heard much about Bobby Brown since he earned himself a DUI in March, but it looks like that’s a good thing because reportedly the 43-year-old has checked himself into rehab for alcohol addiction.

Sources close to the singer revealed to TMZ that Brown has indeed been undergoing treatment recently and chose to do so because he says he “realized he couldn’t do it on his own.”

The insider added that Brown “decided that he needed help and wants to make the best out of the rest of his life for his children’s sake.”

Well good for him. Even though Brown had a little bit of light this year by getting married for the second time (this time to Alicia Etheridge in June), overall it has been a tough year. With ex-wife Whitney Houston’s untimely death in February, non-stop touring, and his ongoing alcohol issues (resulting in that March DUI), clearly he’s made the right decision for himself and his six children. Brown even stated earlier this year he hoped daughter Bobbi Kristina would seek help for her addictions. You’ve got to lead by example, and it looks like he’s trying to do just that.

Good luck Bobby!
