Steven Tyler Checks Into Rehab

2008-05-22 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 12 Comments
60-year old Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, previously believed to have been clean for 20 years, has checked into rehab in LA.

The singer was diagnosed with Hepatitis C 2 years ago, supposedly contracted through the use of shared drug paraphernalia, however despite 11 months of painful chemotherapy Tyler appears to have turned back to the habit that earned he and bandmate Joe Perry the nickname The Toxic Twins during the '70s.

Of course the obligatory question here is, "Who's surprised?"

It boggles the mind how he managed to have a hand in creating Liv Tyler. Not just because she looks nothing like him, but also because he managed to avoid ODing long enough to procreate.

Joking aside, 60 and going back to rehab? Jesus, that's depressing.

I'd be an avid drug user too if I looked like him.

There are only so many Orangutan Look-Alike Contests you can enter before it takes its toll and cocaine starts sounding attractive.

Most people, considering he's been clean for 20 years.


Personally, I was always skeptical. I read about his drug-addled exploits in the 70's. At that point, I hard a time believing he could ever go completely clean.

Of course, I am a cynical, miserable bastard so it's not like you didn't expect this of me.This Message Edited On 05.22.08

He should go onto the celebrity rehab tv program to show he's really trying this time. (/)(--)(/)
