Steven Tyler Back in the Saddle With Aerosmith

02/29/2012
. (hennemusic) Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's show Monday night. Tyler was on hand to talk about his experience at Elton John's Oscar's viewing party, plug his American Idol gig, and the upcoming Aerosmith record.

"February, March, April, May is Idol," began Tyler, "June 15th to 18th we hit the road." As for keeping up his band duties in relation to Idol, Steven says it's a non-issue, "they [the band] were bummed that I didn't tell them [he was doing the show] first." As for getting past that, he says "I think so; it brought up Aerosmith's sales 270%. I mean, Idol's the biggest show on TV."

"Everyone's getting along," adds the singer about the band. "No secret: I had a lot of foot operations, I was back on drugs, again. We did a tour with ZZ Top � I fell off the stage because of that, and the guys were angry with me, and rightfully so. But I'm back and I'm on fire." Check out the interview here.
