Seven Tyler Checks Into Rehab

[koolmike]

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 Tyler the nickname The Toxic Twins during the '70s.

==================================================

60 years old and still shootin' up dope. :dsp: They were great in the 70's and IMO went downhill from the 80's on.

Sad indeed.

He's been in rehab for about half his life for cryin' out loud.

Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&entry_id=27423) has completed his stint in rehab, celebrating his release by grabbing courtside seats for the Boston Celtics' basketball game on Tuesday.

The singer checked into a facility in Pasadena, Calif., last month, prompting speculation he had slipped from sobriety, 20 years after he kicked hard drugs.

Tyler later revealed he was in rehab on doctor's orders because of a foot injury.

But he appears to be recovering well, and looked happy and healthy as he cheered on his team against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics went on to win 131-92, and were crowned the new NBA Champions.Foot injury, my achin' ass...

What, did he stub his toe on an f'ing syringe?

I've heard some tall tales in my time, but that one takes the cake.
