Howard Stern sidekick, comedian, and troubled drug addict Artie Lange was admitted to the hospital last week for undisclosed reasons.
Today we learn why there was so much secrecy - Lange apparently stabbed himself nine times in a failed suicide attempt that almost killed him.
The New York Post is reporting then Lange's mother found him in his apartment Saturday morning and called 911.
The comedian had three life threatening deep stab wounds and six minor wounds.
He was treated in time to save his life.
As part of the Sirius XM radio, and Howard Stern family, Lange will be welcomed back once he recovers according to reports according to Stern.
Stern and company have been silent since Artie's disappearance from the show last month, and have only made minor comments on air about the comedian.

The king of all media and his super model girlfriend have tied the knot.
Shock jock Howard Stern, 54, and Beth Ostrosky, 36, were married Friday night in a small and private ceremony at Cirque restaurant on East 58th Street in New York City.
According to media reports, there were less then 200 people in attendance.
The guest list included real estate magnet Donald Trump, Barbara Walters, Jimmy Kimmel, Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos, Sarah Silverman, Adam Carolla, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Joan Rivers, Stern's radio cohorts Robin Quivers and Artie Lang, Chevy Chase and John Stamos.
Mark Consuelos, who is an ordained minister and real-life husband of television host Kelly Ripa, officiated over the ceremony. Long time friend and actor Chevy Chase gave the toast, and singer Billy Joel performed the song "The Stranger".
The details for the wedding were kept secret for months, and guests were given little information about the time, place and date of the event.
Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky have been dating for almost eight years, and publicly announced their wedding plans early last year. This is Ostrosky's first marriage, and she now becomes stepmother to Stern's three daughters from a previous marriage. It is Stern's second marriage, after divorcing his first wife Alison in 2000.
Stern can currently be heard with Robin, Artie, Fred and Gary as well as a host of outrageous characters on his SIRIUS radio show.
He is also a consulting producer for the comedy "Howard Stern's Porky's", a remake of the classic 1980's teen sex comedy "Porky's", about a group of high school students who seek revenge on a nightclub owner and his sheriff brother. The film is due sometime in 2009 and is sure to be bad.
