After over 10 years of performance injuries, Steven Tyler feels that he needs to seek professional treatment for his reliance on pain medication. If you’ll remember, just this summer he had an accident that likely triggered his relapse. In a statement to People Magazine, Tyler said:
“With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford.”
The singer, who has a history of drug abuse, has been isolating himself from his bandmates as of late and that was a sure sign that his recovery had turned in to a relapse. His daughter, actress Liv Tyler said the following about her father receiving treatment, “My family and I are in complete support of my dad’s decision to seek treatment. He is a courageous man. We love him and are so proud that he is getting help to balance his pain management, not just for himself but for his family, friends and fans.”
Tyler is 61 years old and has been at it (performing and using drugs) for decades in different capacities. If he doesn’t come out of this clean, he at least seems to have the support of his family and the ability to keep doing what he loves with a band that’s behind him.
Steven, give it up. Quit trying, man. Either that, or just open your own rehab. Shit. Seems like every year you are there. Whoo. This shit is gettin old.
Atleast he’s trying. Fuck off.
he looks like a witch, i am scared
There is no try, there is only do
He looks like a rich old lady who winters in Florida.
Hahahahahaha. Good one!
Anon—Whaa whaa whaa…sorry you are fan of druggies “who try”…
How about giving that Fuck off to Steven Tyler. That’s what he is really saying to his family and friends and fans when he keeps on backsliding on the sobriety. “Hey I’m entitled…” “I’ll do drugs until I’m forced into rehab…” Yeah, it’s the same old story….didn’t he write that song already. SHIT!!! I’ll say it again, ITS GETTING FUCKIN OLD STEVEN — KNOCK THE SHIT OFF OR GET OFF THE PLANET!!!! SHIT!!!!
Crabtown – you’ve got it! He’ll backslide as long as there are people there to “support” (enable) him.
Junkies / addicts don’t recover unless they stop using ALL drugs. Completely. FOREVER. Not a little bit at a time. And certainly not when they’ve got an endless supply of cash and dealer contacts at hand.
Steven Tyler may be a great performer, but he’s also an addict. Once a junkie, always a junkie.
good luck to you steven

It’s not Aerosmith without Steven Tyler but he’s a mess. He needs to take care of himself and Aerosmith needs to finally split up and those members that are capable should focus on side projects.
I scrolled down way too fast and thought that was Latoya Jackson
I hope and pray they wean him off wearing those fucking assed crocks at the same time!
Dear God,
I miss Wendie. Please bring her funny ass back to Evil Beet. I should have some say in the matter since I died for her sins.
Love,
Jesus
