Fans of sub-Rolling Stones pensioner boogie rock had better prepare themselves for a nasty shock – Aerosmith have cancelled their latest tour because singer Steven Tyler needed some surgery.
Now, we know what you’re thinking: Why the hell couldn’t have Steven Tyler had his surgery during last year, and cancelled his and Aerosmith’s cripplingly bad cameo in the already thunderously shit movie Be Cool with John Travolta? It would have caused a lot less pain for all of us, anyway.
Fans of Aerosmith (DVDs) who had been looking forward to seeing the band
play live over the next two or three months had better start making
alternative plans to do the next best thing – perhaps going to a
nursing home and making a long-haired pensioner shout and yell for cash
– because Steven Tyler needs surgery, and Aerosmith are cancelling all
kinds of live dates as a result.
Despite having a face that looks like a human scrotum stuffed full
of live fish, the surgery that Steven Tyler is undertaking is in no way
cosmetic – it’s his throat that’s knackered. There are no firm details
on the condition that has affected Tyler’s throat, but he’ll be having
an operation that requires him not to sing or yell or scream for
between two and three months. And, as a result, Aerosmith have been
forced to cancel the remaining 12 dates on their current North American
tour.
Aerosmith have been rocking out – and Steven Tyler wailing – for 36
years, which would put a strain on anyone’s voice, especially when
you’re almost 58 and you’ve been on tour for five months solid like
Steven Tyler is. Perhaps to help rest Tyler’s throat, all radio
stations around the world could also stop playing any Aerosmith
records, especially that one from Armageddon. What do you think? No?
Worth a try, anyway.

Debby says
Steven Tyler is the coolest man that has ever lived – I don’t know what face YOU are looking at but uh next time put on your glasses. Or are you just a simple minded dweeb who prefers the look of Flavor Flav?
In an article on health issues there was no need to point out your childish jealousy towards the man.
C.Webster Rose says
Debbie is right. You have got to be a Clock-Headed Flavo fool devotee if you cannot recognize the respect that Tyler and the band not only accept but rightfully earned. I’ll bet you would be happy if they have to cut out a tumor.
Your mother should slap you.

Tom Nelson says
A few choice words for the s$#t head who wrote this story. I’m 54 y/o and still playing music in a rock band. You know the guy your talking about is one of the reasons I’m still playing and loving life on a daily basis.
So I was wondering Mr. Brave-Heart why don’t you put your picture on a page and let us take a shot at it. Oh I forgot your a super star reporter (what ever that means) so I’m sure none of us could care less. Get well Steven!
Ryan says
Actually I think he looks like an Ape scrotum filled with fish, not a human. A great big ape scrotum too, like Kong’s after they got dragged along 110 stories or so of Empire State building office windows. Probably a silver back ape scrotum though, as it’s really ugly but still demands respect.
Raul says
Woaa… You learned that in school in Utah?
Mic Jagger says
Hey, The Geriatrics are Alright! I agree, the face comment was tasteless, (really funny, but definitely tastess). Beyond that, this fossilized rock star tour garbage with the 1000 dollar tickets and wheel chair ramps is dare I say, *getting a bit old*. You can find about as much entertainment with a 40 and an evening in a bus station. No wonder he blew is throat apart, it’s older than dirt, and anyway, who wants to watch some old fart trying to prove he’s still got it? Rock and Roll is best carried by rebelious youth, that’s part of the deal, and yes, I remember when “Get Your Wings” was released, it was good rock and roll. Aerosmith went south when they started singing about elevators. All I’m saying is “Long Live Rock” but please, “Don’t Fear the Reaper”. Maybe it’s time to “Turn the Page”, get a “Pink Cadillac” and get into “The Spirit of Radio” while you sit around with your “Sweet Leaf” and wonder whether all that “Running With the Devil” led you to the “Stairway To Heaven” or “The Highway to Hell”. Get well soon Steven.
gaylor says
I hope he gets well soon and the so called reporter who wrote this and has no tact or shame at all, gets fired and ends up in the unemployement line!
Alec says
Boy, last month I was lucky enough to see him at the Pond of Anaheim in California with Lenny Kravitz and Steve was great.
I heard nothing in his voice that indicated he had some chronic condition.
I have a suspicion that Mr. Tyler wasn’t trying to upset anyone with this. I think this issue was immediate and unexpected for him.
He and the band were so good when I heard them.
I am shocked by this news and hope he has a good procedure and a fast full recovery.
R says
I saw the word heckler some place…but hey…credit where credit is due! Aerosmith has earned a place embedded in Rock.
jody says
Steven Tyler is one of the few real rockers from my generation, and one of the finest, except, of course, for Mick Jagger, who is my true love.
BJ says
Give em a break, youll miss them someday…………unlike jagger
tim says
tyler sounds better now then he ever has – and far better than any younger singers today. as far as looks go – chicks dig him, end of story. no – talent haters are just jealooooooooous.
Dave says
Such crap. Aerosmith’s a great band. The clown who wrote this can follow his favorite band (Fall Out Boy?) into the later years (five minutes from right now) and see if they’re still standing, much less rocking.
cathy says
hey, it is funny,really ugly but still demands respect.If it was the” highway to hell”,we still have a chance to “the stairway to heaven”Ever heard of living on borrowed time?Why not be your best “Until The End”?ROCK ON STEVEN!!!!!!!Please,because I missed you in Miami again.
Penelope Pleasant says
Don’t know what all you youngbloods are so twisted about. If I had a scrotum that could spit ’em out like Tyler, I’d prop my Morning Glory up to the mic stand and spew the Blues-Rock boogie all night long!
Todd says
It’s not a matter of Tyler looking like a scrotum so much as it’s a matter of most scrotums looking like Tyler. Seriously, before the band broke male genetalia looked totally different.
Get well though Steve
Eric Clapton says
C’mon dude! We all get older. Rock-n-Roll is for the living. Who cares how fuckin old you are? You must be watchin too many music videos where the artists are only 17 yrs old. You gonna watch/listen to what “they” tell you is cool, or to what you like?! You are a weak minded unoriginal bastard! Oh well. You’re not alone I guess. Enjoy your Aviril CDs you pussy!
Gail says
HOW MEANSPIRITED ARE ALL OF YOU WHO MAKE FUN OF A MAN’S ILLNESS. STEVEN TYLER IS A CLASSIC! HE IS NOT TOO OLD TO ROCK’N’ROLL! I WOULD RATHER WATCH HIM PERFORM THAN ANY OF THE SO CALLED ROCKERS OF TODAY! STEVEN IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! YOU JEALOUS MEN WILL NEVER HAVE WHAT HE HAS…GROW UP! GAIL

Carla says
Sorry, but I prefer to rock with Aerosmith, and the energy generated is still unmatched. Get well Steven. Long live Aerosmith.
ToadeR says
I’m not saying I’m a died-in-the-wool Aerosmith fan, but give the guy a break. Like them or not, Steven Tyler is an incredible talent. I wish him the best and I’m sure Aerosmith will make up the dates they had to postpone.
zenta says

Jade says
I don’t give a sweet shit what anybody says…..I have been a fan since I was 14 years old…..that’s 30 years this month. Steve is THE man, Aerosmith gets me through my day, Hell, they get me through my life! So far, so good! He’s got it baby…..whether he is 58, 88, or 28….he has got it. So…..get a grip! Last time I looked….we are ALL getting older…do we lie down and die at 50? What’s the magic age? Hell no! I’ll be an Aerosmith fan until the day I die. As for his face…..that is neither here nor there…he’s an artist. I love Steve’s face….it’s as unique as his talent. Think he is too old to rock? Dream on baby!!!!!!!!!!
Sal says
Dear visitors to this site,
I just thought I’d let you know a few things about Steven Tyler. First, there come great stars into this world who, despite the harshest difficulties, maintain unmatched talent. I speak for all TRUE fans of music in saying Steven Tyler is one of these few. Second, this man was born a star whose shine can never be dulled. He has such a strong and charismatic character. Third, he is on stage who he is off stage. When you hear the man sing, he holds nothing back. He IS one of the greatest singers in the world, ever. Listening to his music sooths my soul and millions of others. His latest album “Honkin’ on Bobo” is one of their top three. His voice is aging like wine. To the shallow minded reporter of this article: I feel sorry for you because you will never know the true meaning and purpose of music. Steven, if I may change your phrase a bit… The Blues had a child and named it Rock and Roll; Rock and Roll had a child and named it Steven Tyler. Get well Steven. -Sal
Angel says
BJ: There are some things you´d never forget…
And I agree with Debbie. Stev is a very handsome, talented guy. Hope he get well soon.
officiallyaero says
You’ll miss him when he’s quiet!
d in the south says
Did everyone consider that this dude is looking more and more like a lady and maybe there is something to that? Throat problems sound better to the public than hearing about a vanity surgery. If he has a throat problem, I hope it clears up 100%. He can’t stand anymore “prettyifying”.
Allison says
Steven Tyler and Aerosmith both rock!! I don’t know whose face you are looking at, but Steven Tyler is one sexy hot man!! And, who cares if he is 58 and still singing.. IT’S CALLED HIS PASSION!! We should all be so lucky to have something we love so much as he loves music!! He deserves respect and compassion, not stupid jealous comments! I saw Aerosmith in 2001 and I have seen a lot of concerts and this was the absolute best!! Steven and the band rocked the house and no matter what small-minded people like you say …. obviously Steven Tyler and the band still got it to Rock N Roll , because they are still doing it after all these years ,and we fans are still buying their cd’s and going to their concerts. So , I say Steven : RECOVER QUICK! And , as for the writer of this article : stick it where the sun doesn’ shine!! STEVEN TYLER IS #1 in my book!!
sweetxs says
Well, it’s nice that everyone has the guts to trash Steven now after all these years in which he gave us a great and a fantastic music. he has had a full life and that leaves its marks on one’s face, so stop making childish remarks that dont’t worth jack and let the man be. he still has he moves and as he said in walk this way the book, even when he’ll be on his deathbed he will get a hard on from listening to purple haze. Steven, may you live forever!
ROCKGUY says
YOU KNOW,THE WHOLE TROUBLE WITH THE INTERNET IS THAT EVERYBODY IS A “JOURNALIST” INCLUDING YOU GUYS.YES,STEVEN TYLER IS 58 YEARS OLD,SO WHAT?THE GUY ROCKS AND A LOT OF US HOPE HE AND THE REST OF AEROSMITH KEEP ROCKIN’ WAY INTO THE FUTURE.YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP THROWING SNIDE REMARKS AT A BONA FIDE ROCK ICON/LIVING LEGEND LIKE TYLER AND SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT FOR A MAN THAT HAS WRITTEN THE BOOK ON HOW NOT TO DO IT AND STILL LIVES TO TELL THE TALE.KEEP ROCKIN’ STEVEN!!!!!!!
scott says
steve tyler uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu rock go for it man
sistasoul says
Steven Tyler is still hot and charismatic at 60. I have been in love with his music and his persona for 31 years. He is a true survivor and a great talent. I grew up with Aerosmith anw will listen to their music for the rest of my life. I hope Steve and the band rock on for as long as they remain healthy.
Gen says
First of all, get your facts straight. Steven Tyler, or Steven Victor Tallarico, is 61 years old. He was born March 26, 1948. Second, why do you have to insult the man? He is one of, if not the greatest rock and roller of our generation. He is not only a true talent, but he is a kind and generous individual. I have had the honor of meeting him and hanging out with him several times, and even going backstage to meet him and the band. Steven is an extremely talented and creative person, who deserves respect, not your insults. Also he is SOOOOOOOO HOT! So get over yourself.
I am an Aerosmith fan for life.
