Aerosmith's Steven Tyler: Sex change?

[GoldDustOrphan]

Steven Tyler's recent stage fall forced the cancellation of Aerosmith's summer tour, but this photo of the 61-year-old Tyler that appeared in yesterday's Boston Globe makes me wonder if a bad fall can result in a spontaneous sex change. He looks like a little old woman.

It was taken in Massachusetts liquor store with some local actor.

LOL that is funny. One of my girlfriends sent me an email the other day that simply said, "how is this even possible at age 61?" with this photo:

Notice that he's holding his actual glasses in his hand, meaning he probably decided he should put the sunglasses on for the picture. I almost said shades, but those aren't shades.

Hm. When I met Steven Tyler several years ago, he was definitely clean and sober. Let's hope for the best and say he was there with a friend.

sorry... I had to!

It is possible for an alcoholic to reach a state (which can last for years) where they can imbibe yet not be self destructive- even if said behavior inherently risks self destruction. Steven Tyler is only one of a very long list of celebrities who once had counseling in alcohol rehabilitation yet today still openly partake (see: Drew Barrymore).

I do, however, doubt that he still uses cocaine- I think that was the crux of all of his problems back in the day.

Well played.

Tyler does look whack there. I think the glasses don't help. People need to stop wearing big sunglasses. For real. It's ridiculous.

I am going to have to disagree with you on this one.

Me too. Plus he's probably on pain killers after taking that fall. Mixing them with alcohol is just asking for trouble. Then again, maybe he was just in there buying a lottery ticket.

Saw this online just recently, take it for what it's worth:

AEROSMITH Singer Is "Uninsurable Because Of All The Accidents And Cancelled Dates"

Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa from Bostonherald.com is reporting:

AEROSMITH isn’t breaking up, but the rock ’n’ roll legends are going on strike until lead singer Steven Tyler straightens up - and sobers up, according to band sources.

“Truthfully, he’s a liability for the band,” one source told the Track . “He’s uninsurable because of all the accidents and cancelled dates.”

Steven, 61, who had been the poster boy for the 12 steps, has fallen off the wagon hard and was partying like a teenager at the 69th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota where he fell off the stage during a show, we’re told.

As you know by now, the Bad Boys of Boston had to scrap their summer tour last week after Tyler’s fall, which left the frontman with a broken left shoulder and 20 stitches in his head.

Since the Sturgis drama the frontman hasn’t picked up the phone to call his longtime bandmates Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, sources said.

Instead, we hear, Tyler’s new management company, Union Entertainment Group, dispatches health updates and other Steven news via e-mail to the band’s longtime managers Howard Kaufman and Trudy Green .

(Steven’s manager John Greenberg at UEG didn’t return e-mails yesterday seeking comment.)

“Everyone is very worried about him,” said another source who wished to remain anonymous. “All of this didn’t happen overnight. Sturgis was just the final straw.”

I didn't say "indefinitely" - I said "which can last for years". Inevitably, they'll find themselves in the same position they were in before (although maybe not to the same extreme), but there is a time period in the interim where they can be functional.
