Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, 61, has entered a rehab facility to treat an addiction to painkillers that he has taken to help deal with 10 years of performance injuries.
In a statement released on Tuesday Tyler said:
“I love Aerosmith; I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith. I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of.”
The band had to cancel a summer tour in August after Tyler fell off the stage during a performance in South Dakota and broke his left shoulder.
Dr. Brian McKeon, the doc who is treating Tyler, says that orthopedic injuries over the past decade have left him with severe chronic pain that will require surgeries on his knees and feet.
