While Steven Tyler recovers from his stint in rehab, Aerosmith has continued talks to find a replacement for their lead singer. However, talks of Lenny Kravitz or Billy Idol taking over have come to a stop, and soon, so will all the auditions for a replacement singer. Steven is going to do everything in his power to prevent getting replaced so his attorney wrote to the band’s manager stating to “immediately cease and desist from engaging in acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.” His lawyer claims that Steven doesn’t want to take legal action and just wants to hold his place in the group. He pretty much just wants the rest of the band to put a tour and a possible new album on hold until he recovers even if that takes up to a year.

Steven Tyler recently treated a bunch of shoppers at a Home Depot to an impromptu concert when the “former” Aerosmith lead singer sang two of the band’s greatest hits a cappella over the store’s loud speaker. Multiple employees at the Home Depot in Rancho Mirage, California said that Steven randomly picked up the microphone and belted out snippets of ‘Dude Looks Like a Lady’ and ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ for everyone to enjoy. Here’s the kicker – Steven apparently took a hit from a helium machine and kept singing Bee Gees style while signing autographs for anyone who wanted it. He has to be the coolest guy ever!

Apparently the soon to be former Aerosmith vocalist was spending most of his time in a rehab facility, but now that he’s out, Stephen Tyler went straight for a karaoke bar where he apparently rocked out the whole house. Of course Stephen Tyler didn’t waste any time with other songs, but he jumped right on the Aerosmith classic, “I don’t wanna miss a thing”, and he blew the competition away. The man apparently has still got it… strange that his band mates are so eager to find a replacement. After all, Aerosmith just won’t sound like Aerosmith without Stephen Tyler’s voice. A regular rock star he is!

Due to a series of operations, Steven Tyler will be unable to tour with his band Aerosmith for at least a year. For some reason, the rest of the band is looking for another singer to fill in until he recovers. Guitarist Joe Perry said “We’re already getting the word out there. The word’s been out there for a while. We’ll start having some auditions, making some phone calls. Hopefully, we’ll have found a new singer by the summer, and Aerosmith will be able to go back out on the road… We’re gonna find somebody to get in there and fill that spot. Just like when (bassist) Tom (Hamilton) was sick – we got David Hull to come in and play bass. When (guitarist) Brad (Whitford) was sick, we got somebody else to come in and play for him. That’s basically how I look at it; we need another singer to fill in.” Who wants to see Aerosmith without Steven?
