Last August, Steven Tyler fell off of a stage which encouraged him to enter rehab in December. Tyler was originally due to be replaced, but the band has opted to continue with Tyler as the lead singer. Tyler jokingly announced that he auditioned and got the gig.

While Tyler was in rehab and recovering from his painkiller addiction, guitarist Joe Perry announced that the bad would hold auditions to replace Tyler.

It now appears that the band has reconciled and their tour will begin in June. Drummer Joy Kramer has stated that all band members have one thing in common which is that they all want to get up on stage and perform and bring joy to their fans.

Having formed and started playing in the 1970’s, this is the fifth decade that the band will play in.

In a letter written to band manager Howard Kaufman, Miller instructs Kaufamn to stop engaging in these acts and “conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.”

Miller insists that Tyler does not want any lawsuits but also says that legal action will be pursued for damages if necessary. He tells Billboard magazine that replacing Tyler would be like replacing Mick Jagger with another lead singer for the Rolling Stones and calls it absurd.

Steven is currently in rehabilitation, receiving treatment for an addiction to painkillers. He underlined his commitment to the band before leaving and dismissed earlier claims of wanting a break to pursue his solo career. Miller only wants Aerosmith’s future direction to be with Steven Tyler touring once again with the band and releasing a new album.

Also, according to Tyler’s attorney, a meeting was claimed to have taken place in January between Kaufman, John Branca, another attorney of Tyler’s, and Tyler’s manager Allen Kovac, which soon turned into an argument over whether or not to keep Tyler in the band. Kaufman stated that he did not think the singer should be a part of Aerosmith anymore, which Miller implied to mean that the band would be better off without him.

Miller is calling another meeting slated for February 9th with Aerosmith’s shareholders to discuss the future of the band, including a tour and a new album release later this year. Miller has also accused Kaufman of putting Tyler’s recovery at risk, especially during a time when Steven has committed to transforming his life so he can continue to become a part of the band he has enjoying performing with for many years.

“I think he needs help, and some attention needs to be applied to his health,” the band’s drummer, Joe Kramer told People.

Guitarist Brad Whitford said that “Tylers behavior was spinning out of control.”

The 61-year old frontman has announced he’s taking a two-year sabbatical away from the band, and that decision plus Steve’s recent health has some of his band-mates concerned.

Tyler who was a known drug and alcohol abuser is in the 70′s and 80′s, said he has been clean for years.

“He’s got some bad influences in his life now, and he’s making some very poor choices.” said Joe Perry..

The band claims Steve’s “erratic and unpredictable” behavior has been negitibly effecting the band with show constellations.

“It wasn’t an overnight change. It’s been progressively getting out of hand,” says guitarist Brad Whitford. “His behavior is spinning out of control. I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing, and we’re all kinda worried about his well-being.”

The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970.s

Steve Tyler In Bad Shap Say Aerosmith Band Mates

Although the popular front man has said he will stay with the band things still seem complicated.

Tyler surprised everyone Tuesday night by appearing on stage in New York at a concert by Joe Perry, the Aerosmith guitarist.  After the show, Tyler told the crowd, “I just want New York to know that I’m not leaving Aerosmith.  The breakup – it just ain’t true.”

It seems that discussions between the two musicians brought about a change in Tyler’s plans, although Tyler added, “Joe Perry, you are a man of many colours.  But I, motherf*****, am the rainbow!”

When asked by Rolling Stone magazine about his unplanned appearance at Perry’s show, the guitarist said, “He wants to take two years off from the band.  The rest of the band wants to keep on working. We have so many different options to fill up that time. Anything is possible at this point.”

Obviously, the band doesn’t want to take a break, and though the members are all over the age of 57, they still feel like they have their entire lives ahead of them.  They want to make the most of their musical talents and push on, however Tyler, the oldest band member at 61, doesn’t share their view.

The Band’s future is still a bit cloudy, but for now they remain together.

Steven Tyler Not Leaving Aerosmith

Perry shared his thoughts following the recent announcement that Tyler, who has led the band for nearly 40 years, was stepping aside.

During an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Perry said, “Steven quit as far as I can tell, I don’t know anymore 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.”

It seems that Tyler isn’t even quite sure of his future plans. “I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but it’s definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself — Brand Tyler,” he told Classic Rock magazine.

Aerosmith canceled several concerts over the summer amid an injury-plagued season after Mr. Tyler fell from a stage on Aug. 5. A publicist for the band referred questions to its management, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold 150 million albums worldwide, including 66.5 million albums in the United States alone. They also hold the record for the most gold and multi-platinum albums by an American group, according to Wikipedia.
