New York, Nov 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Aerosmith is quiet concerned about their band mate Steven Tyler, as they feel that he needs professional help. They have seen him dealing with drugs too in the past and are seriously concerned whether he is doing them again or not. However, Steven Tyler says that he’s taking time off from Aerosmith to write a book while his injured shoulder heals. The front man had sustained the injury after falling off stage at a concert in August.
Steven Tyler’s representative says that the rocker is using his free time productively by penning his autobiography. “He’s concentrating on his book right now while his shoulder heals,” said the spokesman.
However, Tyler’s Aerosmith band mates aren’t so sure about the whole thing and have instead asked his daughter who is the Hollywood actress Liv Tyler to seek help and “get healthy”.
“Steven has made some poor choices as of late,” said drummer Joey Kramer, “and he’s got some bad influences around him, and I think that for the most part he’s his own worst enemy. I just really hope that Steven puts the focus on Steven and gets healthy.”
“I suspect there’s a lot more going on than we know about,” said guitarist Brad Whitford. “He has a well-documented history of drug abuse, and I find myself very suspicious.
“I haven’t seen him do this or have any personal knowledge, but the isolation is very typical of addictive behavior, and his – what I call — irrational behavior.”
