Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, has walked his way into rehab. Pun intended.
Steven Tyler, the charismatic 60-year-old frontman for longtime Boston rockers Aerosmith and father of actress Liv Tyler, has reportedly checked himself into Las Encinas Hospital’s drug rehabilitation clinic in Pasadena, California, according to TMZ.com. At press time, a spokesperson for the band could not be reached for comment.
The treatment center is where noted addiction medicine specialist and radio talk-show host Dr. Drew Pinsky practices. It also served as the stage for Pinsky’s “Celebrity Rehab” reality series.
While the report wasn’t specific, Tyler, who once said, “Four rehabilitation centers for drug abuse later, I’ve been able to take a long, hard look at my behavior,” is said to be receiving treatment for substance abuse.
Steven was notorious for his drug and alcohol abuse in the 70’s and 80’s, but has been clean since around 1986. He and the guitarist from Aerosmith were called the ‘Toxic Twins’ because of their substance abuse. Wikipedia has no exact date for Steven being clean, but it also says that Steven has checked into rehab this time with his girlfriend, Erin Brady. I can’t find any reference to this elsewhere, but it could be true. I’m not sure if someone is trying to imply that his girlfriend could have been the one who introduced him to the drugs after 20 yeas of being clean.
This is pretty rotten timing for going into a treatment program, as Steven’s daughter Liv Tyler is going through a divorce right now, and doesn’t really need her dad entering rehab to add to her troubles.
Steven publicly revealed two years ago that he had hepatitis C, but says he cleared it from his system.

Just a superficial question : do you think he had plastic surgery ??

She is a skank.

I was thinking the same thing, Frenchie. He looks awfully “smooth” for 60!
I knew someone who was in rehab with him in the mid 80s at McLean in Belmont, MA. I’m glad he’s getting help again if he feels he needs it.

So what you’re saying, Tia, is that you know someone who has no respect for the confidentiality of treatment.

Just proof that a drug habbit is an illness that you have to deal with for the rest of your life….Yeah confidentiality of treatment should be respected…I understand that is must be hard but its important in every healthcare type situation….Im just glad I have never had to deal with any of those demons….

I’m sure regardless of the difficulties Liv Tyler is going through, she is happy her father is taking such a proactive step.
I mean what help is he supposed to be a drunken hot mess?
Alcohol and drug addiction is a life long stuggle. I’m sad he’s gotten to this point but grateful he’s seeking treatment.
BTW, the guitarist’s name is Joe Perry.
