Steven Tyler confirmed as American Idol judge



So it looks like American Idol will have a rock n’ roll influence on the show next season. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler will indeed be a judge on the talent competition.

Deadline Hollywood reports that Tyler’s “deal is done” and that he will be judging up and coming singers and crushing dreams of the ones who suck. Fox is still trying to come up with two other judges to replace Simon Cowell and Ellen Degeneres, who left the show after last season.

MEANWHILE, thanks to our boys at Antiquiet, we came across this bit of video gold. We all remember when Tyler first fell off of a stage while performing at the Sturgis motorcycle rally last year and injured himself. Well he fell off a stage again, this time at a show in Toronto and it was guitarist Joe Perry who made it happen. After Tyler playfully hip-checked Perry during the song “Love In An Elevator,” Perry hip-checked Tyler as he was standing near the edge of the stage and bumped him off entirely.

There’s video goodness down below. I’m guessing Perry just found out the news about Tyler’s AI deal and wanted him to know how he felt about it. Check it out.
