Sly Stone -- ex-frontman of the '70s funk band Sly & the Family Stone -- is admitting he still abuses cocaine and alcohol ... but the 68-year-old singer insists he WANTS to clean himself up.
Stone -- who's currently living in a van in L.A. -- spoke candidly about his substance abuse issues yesterday, insisting he hasn't used drugs or taken a sip of alcohol in "a week and a half."
A discombobulated Stone claims he's chosen a rehab center -- and insists he's serious about it ... saying, "I will be there."

Hey TMZ, where are all the gay or transgendered stories today? I haven't seen any yet. You have to push your gay agenda on everyone don't you?

Leave him be. He is a 68-year-old crackhead and he is not going to change. Let him get high all he wants. He is not bothering anyone.

He should become a motivational speaker that does house calls. He can start with "I live in a van down by the river!".

Someone just needs to step up and put a bullet in his head. He's a waste of oxygen and serves no more purpose. TMZ, stop reporting on him, nobody cares!!

Why doesn't the Oh-so-compassionate Dr. Drew offer to let him stay at Celebrity Rehab? Oh, that's right... Dr. Drew only wants mainstream B-list losers and not someone who really needs help.

he WANTS to change, no he doesnt.
in his condition and his age he should just
keep doing the things he always does..if ya yank the drugs
and crap out of his old body, probably kill him.
perhaps a nicer van would do nicely.. home make overs should build housing for people like this..keep them all together, instead of vans and refrig boxes all over the place..
