Why yeaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh! Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fell off a stage in South Dakota while dancing. Dude’s 61…. I hope he didn’t break a hip. Actually it sems he’s going to be OK, but they did cart him off to a hospital for treatment. Ironically… he fell during Love in An Elevator.
Ed Aurand, a security supervisor at the campground who saw the fall, said Tyler stepped backward off the stage’s catwalk.
“He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand. He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage,” Sanborn said.
Halfway through the performance, Tyler fell onto a couple of fans in the middle of what was a record crowd, Sanborn said. Security rushed to help him and the crowd cheered when Tyler got back up.
“He was good natured about it,” Sanborn said. “He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician.”
“It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening,” he said.
Tyler suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury, but it wasn’t immediately clear how serious that was, Sanborn said.
After he fell, which was halfway through the performance, Tyler was eventually taken backstage, Sanborn said. Around 12:15 a.m., Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry came out to tell the audience Tyler was being taken to the hospital and that the show would not go on.
Apparently the train did not keep a rollin’. There’s no word on when he’ll be back in the saddle, but the doctor pulled out his big ten inch medical record and said it wouldn’t be a permanent vacation.
Steven Tyler is an American Icon….Michael Jackson, an American Embarressment. We cannot afford to lose the Tyler dudes and dudettes. We. Just. Can’t!
didn’t that american icon have STDs on his tongue?
Floyd,how about a Liv Tyler pic
I’m trying to keep the ladies interested…. too much cheesecake.
No, Steve, don’t walk that way! Uh-oh.
Uncle Salty hopes it’s a sunny day outside his hospital window. Me, well, you see me crying, my adam’s apple a little choked up, as I pray Steven gets to spin round and round ad infinitum. Falling down? No more no more.
Maybe he knocked his head and thinks he’s in 1970s Aerosmith again.
No, no, JFN. That’s what the real fans do, knock our heads against a wall to remind ourselves “AngelCryinAmazingCrazyIDon’tWannaMissAThing” doesn’t exist. That’s right, I used the song in singular.
At 61 he probably saw a bran muffin… and thought… “I ain’t seen nuthin’ til I’m down on that muffin.” and then lost his balance.
I can’t stand him. Anyone who puts their own daughter stripping in a video is MESSED UP.
But I do like the music and hope he’s able to keep rocking.
Good thing Janie’s got a gun. I need to borrow it and put myself out the misery of this pun-ditry. Now go play with the toys in the attic.
Getting back to the subject of breeding, how did such an ugly dude produce such a beautiful daughter?
Fritz,
I remember hearing this quite awhile ago, and if it’s true, I’d love to know the full story. Supposedly Liv Tyler grew up thinking Todd Rundgren was her father, until she reached a certain age and her mother told her it was Steven Tyler. What kind of mom can credibly use a different, rock icon as a cover for a real, rock icon? I’m pretty sure her mom was not a librarian, if you catch my drift…
I’m desperately trying to come up with a South Dakota joke here. We Minnesotans laugh at South Dakotans. We are suave and sophisticated. They are hayseeds. We have a vibrant cultural life. They still get their entertainment from Crosley radios. I was going to say the story must be bogus, because there’s nothing in S. Dak. high enough to fall off of and get hurt. But Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills are in South Dak., so that doesn’t work. Now, falling off Washington’s nose on Mt. Rushmore–that would be newsworthy. But I can’t find a joke there. So, in conclusion–bffffffltttttttt!
