Since Aerosmith cancelled their summer tour, we've seen video frontman Steven Tyler shopping at a liquor store (the video was since taken down) and read about unnamed band employees making several revelations. Tyler has apparently been "partying hard." The rest of Aerosmith suspended work on their new album following the liquor store video. Tyler only communicates through his management. And so on.
On Tuesday, Rolling Stone posted a transcript of an interview with Steven Tyler that addressed some of these concerns and rumors.
Rolling Stone: What happened that night [you fell off the stage?]
I don't really know. There was a torrential downpour and the guys [at the campground] said, "Look, it's still slippery." I watched myself on YouTube, and it could have been my knee buckling or any ankle. The last thing I remember before I hit the ground was people grabbing for me, but they couldn't reach me because of the barricade. At any other Aerosmith show I probably would've been caught and thrown back onto the stage - naked and without jewelry [laughs]. I stood up and couldn't raise my arm and knew I'd broken something.
Rolling Stone: Were you sober?
