Former Guns n' Roses rocker Slash has filed for divorce from his wife, Perla Ferrar, after 13 years of marriage.

The rocker submitted documents to a Los Angeles court on Tuesday citing irreconcilable differences for their split, according to TMZ.com.

In papers obtained by the website, Slash, real name Saul Hudson, lists the date of their separation as June 15, and requests joint physical and legal custody of their two sons, London, 12, and Cash, 10.

Slash and Ferrar wed in 2001, but in August 2010, he filed for divorce. Two months later, the couple reconciled, and they renewed their vows in 2011.

The guitarist was previously married to model/actress Renee Suran for five years until their split in 1997.
