Steven Tyler just admitted to being stoned every time he sits down at the judges’ table on American Idol.
Every single time.
Except instead of his usual array of drugs of the past, Tyler is now high simply on the joy of being on the number 1 show in the country – and sitting next to and breathing in the most beautiful woman in the world.
“If you think going out in front of high-def cameras and millions of people I’m not high on adrenaline, you’re crazy.” He went on to tell People, “I’m stoned when that curtain drops,” but he explained, “I just don’t snort the curtain dropping. I don’t snort J. Lo either, though I do breathe her in.”
Tyler who has been known for infamous fights with his band mates and multiple trips to rehab in the past, is now beside himself that America gets to know and see his softer, warmer, compassionate side.
“I’m on top of the world. I’m Hollywood’s little f***in’ sweetheart, basically,” Tyler told Rolling Stone. He also admitted that he took the Idol job to react to his Aerosmith band mates trying to get rid of him.
“F**k yeah. Not to show them, but that I can’t be held hostage anymore. I will be my own hostage. The band can’t throw me out.”
Sober for a year and a half, the 63-year old ex-party king is just glad to be alive. He told People: “Left up to my own devices, I probably would have been dead several times over.” You can read all about his past escapades in his memoir, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?
