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.

Morrissey is really not in the best of health. The singer has been force to cancel some more shows on doctor’s orders to “ensure a complete recuperation”. In addition to cancelling a show at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, Morrissey also cancelled a previous engagement at London’s Royal Albert Hall as well as the world tour’s first four gigs in Florida. The singer has also already missed a television appearance. Fans and concertgoers are advised to hang onto their tickets as the dates may be rescheduled at a later time. I wonder what’s wrong with him. It can’t be just a simple illness to have him be out for so long.

Music legend Paul McCartney has reportedly given up any ideas of the world tour in 2009 that because he cannot bear to be parted from his 5 year-old daughter and feels she is too young to be left alone or to tour with him.

Paul is spending most of his time promoting his latest album ‘Electric Arguments ’ and was entertaining plans to set on a world tour but no sooner did he give this idea a thought his mind and heart turned towards thinking of his daughter and did not want to disturb her routine.

That is great thinking Paul. She needs you more than we do and you still have lots of money. You have toured and played all over the world for decades now Paul and may be it is time that your child took more of a center stage in your life and becomes your only priority.

Spend some more time with her and surely she will inspire you to write and compose or sing new vibrant and joyful songs. My son is 2.5 right now and seeing him do all the naughty things everyday is a real cool thing to do, believe me.

Janet Jackson is being lame again and has decided to postpone five February concerts in Japan. What, is she sick again? Apparently, the former chart topper has cited the global economic crisis as the reason for the postponement. Her camp is scheduled to announce the rescheduled dates in March. If the economy was such a big problem, I doubt Madonna would still be touring considering how huge her shows are. I bet no one bought tickets for Japan either. As most of you know, Janet canceled seven shows in her US tour. I won’t hold my breath that she’s going to reschedule those Japan shows.

That’s a point that may be arguable to some but it’s the truth for the Village People’s original resident police man. Victor Wills, who left the group way back in 1980, is in a San Diego hospital after having surgery on his vocal cords which developed nodules and made his voice go hoarse. Maybe that’s because of his coke use. He was popped back in 2006 for possession. Anyway, he had to cancel several European and Canadian concert dates on his solo tour because of the injury and the much needed recovery. I didn’t even know that he sang much less have a solo career and tour.

The Jonas Brothers performed at the Royal Dublin Society as the opening acts for Avril Lavigned in Dublin, Ireland on Friday. The band of brothers rocked the night away with who may arguably be the most hated Canadian singer and brought some music over to the other side of the pond. Nick, Kevin and Joe plan to open for Avril for her remaining shows in Europe and then head out for their own tour in Canada and the US. It must suck for Avril that her opening act is bigger and more loved than her. I bet a lot of people left after the Jonas Brothers got off the stage.

Celine Dion owns around 3,000 pairs of shoes. How jealous am I?

The ‘My Heart Will Go On’ singer confessed she just can’t stop buying footwear whenever she hits the shops. She said: ‘My hobbies are shopping and golfing. I own between two and three thousand pairs of shoes.’

The mother-of-one has also revealed she wants to have another baby with her manager husband Rene Angelil. Celine, who has a six-year-old son Rene-Charles, added: ‘To be a mother is my most important role – my most important work that I will ever have to do in my life. It’s my best reward.’

The Canadian star finished her five-year run in Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace performing her ‘A New Day’ extravaganza last December. She is currently on her ‘Taking Chances’ world tour, which will see her perform 120 shows.
