Lange confirmed through Facebook that he is working to satisfy a drug court program

'Just heard from Artie. Someone snapped this video and it got back to him. He wanted everyone to know he's fine with it. Per Artie 'It's true i'm working to satisfy my drug court program. I work with great people. Nothing wrong with a little hard work. Love you all and can't wait to be back on stage,'' the Facebook post reads.

In December 2018 Lange shared an image of his collapsed nose on social media to explain the appearance, blaming it on 'three decades of drug abuse.'

Lange is serving four years’ probation for heroin possession.

He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance in late January after reporting to Superior Court in Newark, New Jersey, and testing positive for cocaine for the second time in six weeks while on probation.

Lange was arrested again in March after failing his probation and testing positive for cocaine, according to Radar Online. He is due to complete the drug court program in August.
