It is being rumored that legendary 1960s British rock band, The Who, will be taking the stage at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. If that does go down, the event will mark the band’s first live performance in the United States in two years. It’s a good choice but I kind of miss the years when they paraded out Britney Spears to sing with Aerosmith and when Justin Timberlake got shamed for undressing Janet Jackson. Don’t get me wrong though, I love The Who. However, this whole G-rated thing doesn’t really peak my interest and I doubt anything newsworthy will happen at the event.
It seems that the lead singer of the famous rock band has not been keeping true to his duties lately… at least as far as guitarist Joe Perry is concerned. This is what he said about Steven Tyler’s connections to Aerosmith lately: “I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.” Apparently there’s no sweat, Joe Perry even mentioned that they’ve been looking for a new singer and that they’re planning on going on without Steven Tyler. And another ember turns to stone… oh well, maybe Steven Tyler can finally embark on other projects now that he’ll have a lot of spare time on his hands.
Steven Tyler and his bum shoulder will be gyrating on stage with the rest of his band Aerosmith next month in Hawaii due to a court order and he’s required to not suck at it. The band will be performing concerts on October 18 and 20 after losing a class action lawsuit back in July which was filed after the band cancelled a 2007 show in Maui. According to a clause in the settlement, the gigs have to be the same “quality, type and duration” as a regular Aerosmith concert which includes all aspects of the show down to the “stage, lighting and sound quality”. This would normally not be a problem but the band was forced to cancel the rest of their 2009 tour back in August after lead singer Steven fell off a stage and injured his shoulder.
Ever since Steven Tyler’s accident during one of Aerosmith’s concerts, he’s been pretty off the radar. It’s made fans a little bit wary about the singer’s health. But fans of the band shouldn’t be afraid as Steven’s daughter recently came out with a statement regarding the rock star’s health. Steven’s daughter Mia said in a statement “THE DEMON OF SCREAMIN IS NOT DEAD. Yes it’s true my dad walked the wrong way and landed on his head. He broke his left shoulder and had to get a few stitches on his noggin. He is now at home resting and will be back on his feet just as soon as he can to rock the world once more.”
Aerosmith tour promoters have announced a Winnipeg concert set for Friday night will now be delayed following Steven Tyler’s fall from a stage during a performance.
A spokesman for Winnipeg’s Paquin Entertainment said Steven was a “little banged up after falling from the stage.”
Tyler, 61, was airlifted to a local hospital where he received stitches. He was on stage in Sturgis, South Dakota, performing the song Love in an Elevator when he careened backward into a couple of fans.
Earlier the band had pledged to go on with the Winnipeg show, but organisers changed the plan to perform at the CanadInns Stadium with ZZ Top. The new date is yet to be announced. Other Canadian dates will go ahead as scheduled.
Aerosmith has cancelled a slew of their tour dates because their lead singer Steven Tyler has a busted leg. The iconic rock band has recently postponed shows in both Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale, bringing the total of cancelled dates to seven. Don’t worry though as the cancelled dates will eventually be rescheduled, according to Aerosmith’s official website. That’s assuming that he doesn’t get another injury or that someone else doesn’t get injured. Things like this happen when you get old. It should be expected. Maybe Steven should ask what Cher and Mick Jagger’s secrets are when it comes to their longevity in performing.
Aerosmith have put their work on creating a new album on the back burner for the time being and will instead go on tour with ZZ Top. Some time ago health issues caused the band to put on hold their recording sessions but this time they are going to first complete the tour and then get back into the recording studio.
Guitarist Joe Perry summed it up for the band in one line saying; “We realized there wasn’t any chance of getting it finished before we hit the road for the summer.” June will see the starting of the 40-date North American tour. Though the complete itinerary is yet to be announced European and South American dates are also being considered.
Wow man Aerosmith are one hell of a rocking band and seeing them live on stage after a gap of more than 2 years shall be a treat for every fan.
No, that’s not JLo with her diva hat on. But yes, that is a dead furry leather carcass of a mutt, a zebra sweater, Mary Kate Olsen’s handbag, a groupie’s old stretched out leopard print pants and a pair of working girl ferry commuter sneakers. All of which found on the body of Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler as he tried unsuccessfully to go unnoticed in New York City recently. It’s time for an intervention. That and a complete wardrobe raid and change. Does he not have a mirror in his house? Or was there no one that told him that he looked ridiculous before they let him out?
Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler must think that he has a pretty interesting life. The rocker is set to write his second memoir in just five years. How many extraordinary moments can he write about that took place in that short time? Apparently, the company Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins, won an auction and will pay the 60-year old singer $2 million to publish the book. His last memoir in 2003 included his band mates and was entitled ‘Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith’. The book was co-written by Stephen Davis who became known for digging up dirt on Led Zeppelin in ‘Hammer of the Gods’.
While most A-list stars were spotted at the Staples Center for this year’s NBA finals, that doesn’t mean that the Celtics can’t draw big names. Fresh off a trip to rehab blamed on foot pain (take it for what it’s worth), Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, was courtside for Game 6 of the Lakers-Celtics, ultimately the last game of the finals. It’s being said that he’s finished with his stint at the rehab center but is still undergoing outpatient treatment. It sounds like a good deal. It also explains why he’s wearing sneakers instead of some really fabulous shoes with that outfit.
