Steven Tyler admits recent rehab was for pain and sleep meds

Steven Tyler elaborated on his recent rehab stay Friday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, where he and bandmates were promoting “Guitar Hero 3: Aerosmith.”
If you recall, Tyler released a statement in late May saying he checked into a rehab facility in search of a “safe environment” to recover from several foot surgeries and physical therapy. Tyler said the procedures were to correct longtime foot injuries resulting from his physical performances as the singer for the blues-rock band.
But the Aerosmith frontman now admits that he sought the “safe environment” of rehab last month to recover from more than just surgery, saying he was fighting a dependency on pain and sleep medication. Tyler told The Associated Press:
“To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics,” “You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe (Perry) but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me. This was a month ago, so I just put the brakes on and checked into detox and just pulled the plug on all of it.”
Smart move on Tyler’s part to nip it in the bud before it got out of control! Sometimes wisdom does come with age and experience.

Well, thats true..wisdom often comes with age. I am glad that he has finally chosen the right best thing for him.
Yeah you don’t go into rehab for post operative surgery. Good that Steven Tyler came clean.
I am waiting for their new album! I enjoy their music. They are great. But I found Andy Taylor has a personal ad at a millionaire dating site named Richromances.com. Is he still a single and still looking?
I think you are some kind of promoter of this richromances site because in each of your comment, you are mentioning it. Thats shameless promotion I must say!
