Steven Tyler is back in rehab – according to Joey Bartolomeo and Mike Fleeman, of PEOPLE.com, for prescription drug medication addiction due to chronic pain. He’s 61, and has just in the last five or ten years stopped doing all the acrobatics that used to amaze and amuse those of us who followed Aerosmith around like puppies.
If you’re at all cognizant of the bad boys of Aerosmith, you probably know that they went through serious rehab in the 60’s or 70’s – the whole group of them, I think, and if not, I apologize to any that didn’t need it.
This latest problem began after Tyler fell off the stage during a concert in August, and broke his shoulder. That’s only one of the many injuries he’s had in the last ten or so years, and he’s ascribed with ”severe chronic pain” and more surgeries still scheduled for his knees and feet.
Now, while Joey Kramer gave him lots of positive props when the story came out last December, it is rumored that the rest of the band have talked to Billy Idol and Lenny Kravitz about replacing Steven Tyler as lead singer.
Rollingstone.com says Tyler has sent a letter to the band management explaining what we all already know . . . No Steven Tyler = No Aerosmith. I’ll grant you, No Joe F-n Perry also equals No Aerosmith but who’d have thought you’d have to tell those guys??
