Aerosmith bandmates Tyler, Perry performing together in American Idol
May 4th, 2011 - 5:18 pm ICT by ANIWashington, May 04 (ANI): Looks like feuding Aerosmith bandmates Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have set aside their differences.
Tyler and Perry plan to prove they are still very much pals by performing together on the season finale of American Idol.
“I sent Joe a bunch of songs and he sent me a bunch of licks. We’ve e-mailed back and forth with each other,” Contactmusic quoted Tyler as telling in Billboard.com interview.
“We’re getting together for my father’s birthday - he’ll be 95 - in May and I’m gonna have a band meeting, at which time we’re gonna settle a lot of the tumult that’s been going on in the last year between lawyers and managers.
“Sometimes other people try to keep us apart, so it’s a little difficult. I’m with different management. They’re with different management, they’ve got their lawyers. I’ve got my lawyers. When we get together in a room, magic happens. Things get settled. It’s just hard right now, but who knows what this summer will bring. We’re in the middle of an album cycle. We may go out and do some shows, and we’re already booked for November-December, South America and Japan,” Tyler added.
And the band has a pressing engagement to perform on the season finale of Idol.
Tyler revealed, “We’re playing the last show of the season. When I came on board, of course they were talking about, ‘Are you going to sing with the contestants?’ I said, ‘I’ll do a song, sure,’ but it was always my intention, always, to get Aerosmith on the show.” (ANI)
