Down goes Tyler! Down goes Tyler!
The video up top is where you will see Steven Tyler of Aerosmith take a tumble off stage into the audience. He suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries and was airlifted to a nearby hospital to get checked out. Now, according to an interview with Joe Perry on WXRX-FM (via Blabbermouth) in my hometown of Rockford, IL, the tour may take “from four weeks to two months [for Steven to be able to get back on stage]. So I don’t know.”
Perry also talked about how this tour has taken a toll on the other members of Aerosmith including himself. “We’ve had some bad luck on this tour. Up until three years ago, since we came back we’d only cancelled two gigs. Then Steven had his foot thing, and I had my knee thing, and Tom [Hamilton, bass] had that thing with cancer. It’s all hit at once — but we had 25 years of a good run.”
Could this tour bring the end of Aerosmith’s career on the road? If the injuries continue to add up then I think it’s time to call it quits. We wish Steven a speedy recovery and we recommend he take some dance lessons.
