You can't really see if he's buying booze or not.

I agree, that's TMZ.  At least he's well enough to be out...and although they cancelled the tour, it looks like they will play that court ordered show in Maui in Sept. or Oct.

I don't think I'd run a headline saying "Out On A Liquor Run" unless I saw what he bought.

Just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Aerosmith ready to strike back at frontman Steven Tyler

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Aerosmith  isn?t breaking up, but the rock ?n? roll legends are going on strike until lead singer  Steven Tyler  straightens up - and sobers up, according to band sources.

?Truthfully, he?s a liability for the band,? one source told the Track . ?He?s uninsurable because of all the accidents and cancelled dates.?

Steven, 61, who had been the poster boy for the 12 steps, has fallen off the wagon hard and was partying like a teenager at the 69th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota where he fell off the stage during a show, we?re told.

As you know by now, the Bad Boys of Boston had to scrap their summer tour last week after Tyler?s fall, which left the frontman with a broken left shoulder and 20 stitches in his head.

Since the Sturgis drama the frontman hasn?t picked up the phone to call his longtime bandmates Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, sources said.

Instead, we hear, Tyler?s new management company, Union Entertainment Group, dispatches health updates and other Steven news via e-mail to the band?s longtime managers Howard Kaufman and Trudy Green .

(Steven?s manager John Greenberg at UEG didn?t return e-mails yesterday seeking comment.)

?Everyone is very worried about him,? said another source who wished to remain anonymous. ?All of this didn?t happen overnight. Sturgis was just the final straw.?

So now, Tyler?s bandmates have decided to go on strike from working on their final album for Sony until Steven is ?sober and gets healthy,? sources told the Track.

The tough love comes a week after a YouTube video was posted of a frail Tyler making a purchase at Pembroke Center Liquors .

But the real scary part of the packie run was the photo that showed the cadaverous singer posing with a fan while wearing a sling and what looked like a pair of Johnny Depp?s Willie Wonka shades.

The frightening photo of the father of four was quite the talker on the Internet where, you know, people are so polite and respectful . . .

?Steven is delusional if he thinks the band is going back into the studio this fall,? said one of our Aerospies. ?It?s not happening.?

In other words, Dream On, Steven.

Other F.O.T.s think that Tyler, who took up with now-former Live Nation tour accountant Erin Brady after his 17-year marriage busted up, has surrounded himself with sycophants and other hangers-on who ?think they?re going to cash in on this guy.?

?The band fears he?s going to end up broke,? said the source, adding that Tyler was talked into selling his publishing company for $20 million a few months ago.

Tyler?s frail bod has taken many a blow over the past year. The summer tour, which kicked off June 10 and was supposed to wrap up Sept. 16, seemed to be medically cursed.

Steven had a sore leg muscle forcing the cancellation of seven shows in July. (Over the past year, he?s been treated for pneumonia and went into rehab in May 2008 when he got hooked on painkillers after foot surgeries.)

But Tyler hasn?t been the only member of Aerosmith beset by poor health this year. Bassist Tom Hamilton, who has been battling cancer, had to leave the summer tour for ?noninvasive surgery.?

And guitar man Brad Whitford missed seven shows after surgery for an injury he suffered after hitting his head exiting his Ferrari.

So, as ever, do stay tuned.

Nicely played.  And a real old lady at that.  I hope that picture was tampered with a bit, but something tells me it wasn't.

[Loaded NightraiN]

Its funny... Last week ET had a "Guess That Celebrity" segment with that picture.. The guy in the red sux hat was half cut out, and it was zoomed a little bit and they show it really quick ... I go "BRUCE WILLIS!!" They came back from commercial and said Steven Tyler, and I go "Oh shit, I thought that was some old lady I was looking behind him!"

AEROSMITH Frontman: 'I Respect The Power This Band Has' - Aug. 25, 2009

David Browne of RollingStone.com recently conducted an interview with AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

RollingStone.com: Care to comment on that clip on TMZ of you in a liquor store?

Tyler: Oh, Jesus Christ. A good friend of mine and Joe's [Perry; AEROSMITH guitarist] ? the brother of the guy who works on my house, my housekeeper ? passed away. I was at the funeral. And after the funeral, they're Italian and had a feast at the house, a wake, and I stopped at the liquor store and paid for the booze. I did not buy any for myself. It was never proven that I did. Some kid whipped out a phone and took a picture. Anything to sell papers. It was for the wake. I would do it over and over a million times.

RollingStone.com: How do you respond to reports of dissent within the band?

Tyler: Someone is leaking stuff, pretending to know, and you know, I don't even care. Has the band done things to me where I've wanted to quit? Positively. But I've stuck in there for the sake of a few sounds we got. I respect the power this band has in and of itself regardless of who says what.

RollingStone.com: When did you last speak with the other guys?

Tyler: Two days ago. Shit's good. I'm not the leader. No one's the leader, we're just one for all, all for one. It's probably why we've never quit. No one's got enough money! We split it evenly.

RollingStone.com: But you have signed with a different management company than the band, and you're working on a solo album.

Tyler: I would imagine ? I can't tell you for sure, but I think there's a little animosity that I went with another management agency. Which is for me to know and you to find out. I'm certainly not in outs with the guys. But look, I do what I do. The easiest thing in the world is to say he's drunk or stoned. But what are you gonna do?

Regarding the rumors that AEROSMITH was breaking up following the cancellation of the group's U.S. tour with ZZ TOP, Perry stated, "The band is on hiatus. I think that for the last couple of tours, Steven's [Tyler, vocals] been through a bunch of different physical things. He's always felt like we've gone out a little bit too early every time and that kind of thing... I really don't know for sure. We just want him to get completely healthy ? from head to toe, whatever ailment it is ? and then we'll talk about getting back together. So the band is by no means breaking up; we are just taking some time off. And we're gonna take a good bit of time off so that everybody can re-evaluate our original mandate, which was to go out there and entertain the fans, put the fans [at] number one ? which I always do, and I constantly will, with the [JOE PERRY] PROJECT ? but with AEROSMITH, we're all there on that. And make a great studio record and go out and get on the road and tour until we're finished."

When asked to clarify his statement that for the last couple of tours Steven's "felt like [AEROSMITH has] gone out a little bit too early," Perry said, "It takes a lot of planning, and the thing is, you've gotta know that you wanna go out on the road three months, four months, five months before you go out, 'cause it takes that long to build the tour ? everything from finding the right guys and facilitating... structurally building the whole thing... getting the right PA, getting the right monitors, getting the right guys... A lot of them are people that we've had for a long time. There are new people that we'll bring in. And it just takes a long time to get it going. You look at the U2 thing; they were showing pictures of their stage a month ago. And that's when it's finally done, and you know they started planning that six months before that. So it takes a while to get a tour up and running, and you've gotta know... And that's why you can't put that off. It's one thing to take a little extra time on a release of a record, but you really can't mess around with that [tour] opening date, 'cause you're selling tickets three months in advance, and then you're ready to go. And that's when it's... The show must go on. That little bit of entertainment bylaws have never changed; that's never changed. And that's why we ended up not getting the this last studio record done. We were all set with Brendan [O'Brien, producer] to cut tracks, and we had the songs pretty much lined up, and Steven got a throat thing and then it got to pneumonia and he was out of the picture for six weeks. And Brendan said, 'Look, we just don't have time before the tour to finish this record, so we'll just do it after the tour is over.' And this was, obviously, before we had this whole business about cancelling and all that stuff. So that's when I flipped the switch and went in and started cutting a solo record; I just had too much music inside to let it sit there. I knew I was gonna do a solo record sometime again ? another one ? because I realized I could do solo things parallel to AEROSMITH without it hurting either one. So I was ready to do it some day, but 'some day' happened a lot quicker than I thought; I just wasn't gonna waste any time."

Tyler spoke with RollingStone.com on August 24 to refute rumors that he was drunk when he fell off the stage in Sturgis, South Dakota on August 5, leading to the cancellation of the band's summer tour and reports that the group was in turmoil. When asked how he's doing, Tyler responded, "I've been better. I've got my arm in a sling (from a broken shoulder). I'm on all the drugs I'm not supposed to be on. But I'm dealing with the pain pretty good."

Tyler said he was "as sober as you can be" when he fell, adding that he didn't know how it happened. He said, "It could have been my knee buckling or an ankle. The last thing I remember before I hit the ground was people grabbing for me . . . I stood up and couldn't raise my arm and knew I'd broken something."

As for the footage of Tyler in a liquor store viewed widely all over the web a short time after the Sturgis incident, the singer responded, "A good friend of mine and Joe's ? the brother of the guy who works on my house, my housekeeper ? passed away. I was at the funeral. And after the funeral, they're Italian and had a feast at the house, a wake, and I stopped at the liquor store and paid for the booze. I did not buy any for myself.

Tyler says, "Someone is leaking stuff, pretending to know, and you know, I don't even care. Has the band done things to me where I've wanted to quit? Positively. But I've stuck in there for the sake of a few sounds we got. I respect the power this band has in and of itself regardless of who says what."

He added that he last spoke with his bandmates "two days ago" and that "shit's good."

As for the seemingly cursed tour, which also saw medical problems befall guitarist Brad Whitford and bassist Tom Hamilton, Tyler said, "I'm just so pissed it was such a great tour. I had to ruin it all by falling and I'm sorry. I've said that to the fans and my band and everybody else. I fucked up . . . And I only hope they forgive me for having to cancel such a fucking awesome tour."

They really should have stopped making records after Draw The Line.
