Steven Tyler Goes To Rehab

wenn2519399st__opt.jpg

We're glad he's getting help AGAIN!

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has issued an official statement saying that he is entering a rehabilitation facility for his addiction to prescription medication:

"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."

Tyler's addiction arose from suffering many injuries over the last 10 years of performing.

This might explain his erratic behavior we've been hearing about from his bandmates.

Get well soon, Steven!

      I love you Perez, If you ever want to meet a hot Bi country boy from Minnesota look me up! Sometimes I read the comments on your page and have to ask myself why there is so much hate in this world! You have readers on here once an a great while that are so fucked up white & black trash that need to pull there heads out of there asses and get a job!

      So he is going "Home" for the Holidays??



    10. 10

      Dude looks like a lady.

      I saw Steven Tyler at a pizza place in NYC several days ago. He was with a much younger woman and he definitely appeared to be medicated. It really bummed me out. Glad he is getting help.



    12. 12

      With so many celebrities dying from this kind of addiction its nice to see someone take control and handle it the right way! Way to go Stephen Tyler!



    13. 13

      …good luck! Hopefully it is the Menninger place in bumf*ck USA. Not that I'd know…



    14. 14

      clearly the man needs help. He's wearing CROCS. On a red carpet. that's a serious problem.

      on another note - i'm wishing him the best in rehab. addictions are tough. glad he's able to admit he needs help and has the humility to get it. sending love.

      Perez or staff, if you read the comments, could you one day address this question: How do all the old rock guys stay in what appears to be 28-inch jeans?? Mick Jagger and Ron Wood are just as skinny as Steven Tyler.
      Paul McCartney looks normal and who cares about Ringo whats-his-name since he hates fans, but the real rock guys are as small as they were when they were 19.
      Any ideas?????



    16. 16

      One more thing, Perez or staff, I forgot to ask—aside from their great weights, what is it with the hair?? How do they all have such great hair in their 60's??
      Do you think it's real??
      Steven Tyler looks GREAT. I'm sorry about his addiction and I'm sure he'll work through that, but he looks the picture of health compared to a regular guy his age who hasn't been doing drugs for so many years.
      Even Keith Richards has great hair and he had cranial surgery just a few years ago after "falling off his perch"—falling out of a coconut tree.
      Please let us know what you think the secret of old rockers might be. That way we can all try it.

      He has beat this monkey from his back and I have no doubt he will again.



    18. 18

      It's like his home away from home



    19. 19

      I am proud of you for getting the help that you need before we have another celebrity death.Best wishes to you and your family.Stay strong.

      Re: WriterNYC – That was probably his piece of shit girlfriend who is probably getting him back into drugs. She is terrible and is most likely a danger to his health.



    21. 21

      Re: Dark Phoenix – He's been to rehab twice, you idiot. Not so much a home away from home. Nice try though.



    22. 22

      Re: ap076 – Hell yeah! Couldn't have said it better myself! Get well soon Steven! We love you!



    23. 23

      Seriously, Steven Tyler in Crocs and that ugly coat. He needs more than rehab.

      I had the honor of working with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith producing a public service announcement campaign for RADD. We met in Montreal and shot the video over a two day period. I've worked with hundreds of celebrities during my career, but Steven Tyler stands out of one of the most gracious and kindest to his fans. It was a thrill to work with a living icon. The live concert where he performed after we finished filming was truly the experience of a lifetime. I'm saddened to hear that he is having these issues and send healing prayers for a fast recovery and return to the stage.

      Merry Christmas!
