Evan Dando of The Lemonheads <\/a>has been hospitalized for mental health issues following recent allegations he sent a fan unwanted sexual content, according to Variety<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The publication reported Friday (Feb. 13) that the grunge rocker was seeking treatment, with a representative saying in a statement, \u201cEvan Dando has long struggled with mental health issues dating back to his childhood. He\u2019s been admitted to a local hospital where he\u2019s receiving comprehensive help from experienced doctors and mental health professionals.\u201d <\/p>\n

The news comes shortly after an anonymous fan claimed that the singer-songwriter had sent her unsolicited and inappropriate videos. As reported by journalist Tony Ortega on his Underground Bunker <\/a><\/em>Substack, the fan \u2014 whose husband reached out to Ortega, and whom the reporter referred to as \u201cDawn\u201d \u2014 claims to have simply congratulated Dando on releasing new album Love Chat <\/em>this past October when, after a brief exchange, she received footage the musician had allegedly filmed of himself masturbating. <\/p>\n

Billboard <\/em>has reached out to Dando\u2019s reps for comment on his hospitalization and accusations made against him.<\/p>\n

Dando \u2014 who lives in Brazil with his second wife, Antonia Teixeira \u2014 has been open about his lifelong struggles with substance abuse, recounting many of his experiences with addiction in his 2025 memoir, Rumors of My Demise<\/em>. Though he quit using heroin, speed and cocaine after spending time in rehab in late 2021, Dando told The New York Times<\/a> <\/em>last year that he was still taking \u201cover-the-counter\u201d substances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe God meant us to be sober,\u201d he told the publication, which noted he\u2019d \u201cclutched a pre-rolled joint in his left hand for the duration of the interview\u201d at the time. \u201cWhy would monks make booze? I just know that heroin is really, really satanic for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly after publishing Rumors of My Demise<\/em>, The Lemonheads\u2019 Love Chat <\/em>dropped, marking the band\u2019s first album of original music in 19 years. \u201cWe\u2019ve been around so long that it\u2019s almost like a grudging respect \u2014 like the ugly building or the old hooker that just won\u2019t go away, so people have to deal with it,\u201d Dando said candidly in an interview with Billboard<\/a> <\/em>shortly after it was released. \u201cI love that. It\u2019s a very human quality, this dogged refusal to give up.\u201d<\/p>\n
