Steven Tyler says Aerosmith is back in full force

[HMG] – When Aerosmith lead singer, Steven Tyler fell off the stage during a concert last August the show was soon canceled. And the feud that grew from it nearly broke up the band. But Steven says they’re back, and badder than ever.

The fall happened at a concert in Sturgis, South Dakota on August 5th. It left 61-year old Steven with head and neck injuries and a broken shoulder. The medications that controlled all that pain soon induced an addiction and a feud soon broke out.

But Steve now says that’s all behind them;

“The band has never been better,” he told the Huff Post. “I realized when I was taking care of my problems that the band is really all I care about.”

Steven and the boys are now on tour in Europe, with the US leg due to start in Oakland on July 23rd. So he was asked what it’s like to be back on stage after all the bad-blood.

“Being in Aerosmith is like living on the tail of a comet,” he mused. “A lot of things made it easy for me to abuse drugs, but we pulled it all together. It got really ugly, but when we get onstage and play that goes away. And that’s all I look at now. There will never be another band like Aerosmith, and I don’t want to do anything to hurt that.”

Steven was then asked if he felt he could resist a relapse after becoming addicted to all the pain meds?

“I don’t know whether I will use tomorrow, but today I’m happy. I just can’t be around that stuff anymore,” he admitted. “I need to be a power of example for my band. I’m still in Aerosmith, so when it comes to dealing with the band I take it a day at a time.”

Are there plans for a new album, Steve was then asked?

“I’ve never stopped writing. I’ve got 12 songs for a solo album, and Aerosmith has to finish a studio album,” he answered. “We’re gonna do that one first.”

The reporters then asked if the experience in Sturgis has made him more careful on stage?

“I’m a dancing fool out there!” he confessed, laughing. “I’m more careful when it’s raining. But I’ve become very strong jumping over all the pedals my guitar players have in the middle of the stage, and the monitor wedges. It’s like a hurdles race out there for me.”

Given he clearly enjoys it so much, can the fans expect to have the band around in 5-10 years?

“I’ll be doing this twenty years from now!” he assures us. “I’ll be doing this as long as sound comes out of my mouth.”

And the awful thing is, he just might…
