Comedian Artie Lange was hospitalized over the weekend after he tried to commit suicide. According to NY Post Page 6′s report, Lange stabbed himself 9 times but surgeons were able to save his life.

The suicide attempt details were a bit too graphic and Howard Stern is not happy about the exposure of Artie’s suicide attempt.

Stern issued this statement Thursday regarding the suicide attempt:

“I would love to know who the scumbag is who releases that to the press, because this is a private matter,” Stern said. “I don’t know what to say. I work with Artie, I love Artie. Everyone has their demons, including myself, but he’s wrestling with some serious stuff … When I heard the news it was too much to bear.”

“I’m p-ed off the story got out there, p-ed off at the s–thead who got paid 10 bucks to talk to Page Six …This is a family matter. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say.”

Artie struggled with drug addiction and canceled several recent comedy appearances.
