American country star Trace Adkins has entered a rehab center for alcohol abuse, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.
Adkins, 52, has been open about his battle with the bottle and was 12 years sober prior to taking part in a Country Cruising cruise when he fell off the wagon on Monday.
"Trace has entered a treatment facility after a setback in his battle with alcoholism," his spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday.
"As he faces these issues head-on, we ask that his family’s privacy will be respected."
Country Weekly was first to reveal his entry to rehab.
In addition to banging out No. 1 hits on the country charts, Adkins also appeared in 2011's The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey and won a season of ABC's Celebrity Apprentice.
