American Idol judge and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler took a bad fall in a Paraguay hotel room shower earlier this week and ended up with bruises, stitches and two teeth implants. As soon as the news was out about the incident, rumors started to fly that Tyler had fallen off of the sobriety wagon.
“It still bothers me a little,” Tyler said of the rumors, “but it’s something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life.”
Despite the injuries, the 63-year old rocker could not be stopped from doing what he loves best: Tyler and Aerosmith took the stage last night in Paraguay. He told Lauer:
“Short of having my legs taken off, people are going to expect me on stage no matter what. It’s all about playing to the people. We rocked out. Not only did I break my face, but we broke a house record, so life is beautiful, Matt.”
