Steven Tyler fell off the stage a couple of weeks ago resulting in a broken shoulder and among other injuries.
We’re glad to hear that Steven is getting better and hopefully he’ll start rockin’ again soon.
The Aerosmith frontman has just released the following statement to fans, describing the incident at the August 5th show in Sturgis, South Dakota:
“We were in the middle of “Love In An Elevator and the band slowly realized something was up. Well, I wasn’t gonna go hide under the big top and play ROCK STAR and wait for everything to be fixed.
“I wanted to go out to the crowd to continue the show… so, the Train Kept A- Rollin’ and I ran out on the cat walk and grabbed my mic to finish the song. I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged…AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge…I fell off the edge!
“I landed upside down, and after twenty stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder, I just want to say that I’m plain grateful that I didn’t break my neck! In truth, after thousands of live shows, falling off the edge four times ain’t too bad.
“I want to thank all of the fans for your love and support. I also want to thank the Aerosmith crew and the Buffalo Chip staff for taking care of me in a time of need… and the Sturgis Police Department and the Medvac helicopter crew for getting me outta there before I bled to death… and all the doctors and nurses at the Rapid City Hospital for putting my Humpty Dumpty ass back together again.
“And most of all… I want to thank the angel on my shoulder.”
Get well soon Steve!
