BILLY IDOL TO FRONT AEROSMITH?

This would be great for me. I still have a little thing for Billy. Well, not THAT little. Okay. TMI. Billy Idol, the rebel-yeller punk icon, is the new name floating around to fill the shoes of Steven Tyler while he recovers in rehab this year. Joe Perry recently announced that the band would be holding auditions for a replacement to tour with them. Lenny Kravitz was the last studly singer whose name was being flung around the rumor mill. Billy would be hot, but he can't sing like Steven. Hell, NO ONE can sing like Steven. I think they should just wait until Tyler in ready to get back on stage. How about you? [source]

STEVEN TYLER ENTERS REHAB

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is re-entering rehab for addiction to pain medication. The 61 year-old singer's last stint in rehab was in 2008, also for pain killer addiction. Recent months have seen Tyler and the other members of the group battling publicly, going back and forth from Tyler being in the band, then out, then in, then out. Etc. It's like reading Mariah Carey's diet diary. The band has not made a comment on this stint, but his daughter Liv Tyler issued the a statement saying, "My family and I are in complete support of my dad's decision to seek treatment. He is a courageous man. We love him and are so proud that he is getting help to balance his pain management, not just for himself but for his family, friends and fans." I hope Steven gets better. There IS no Aerosmith without him. [source][image]

AEROSMITH DUMPING STEVEN TYLER???

This would be a big mistake!!!! You can't have Aerosmith without Steven!!! He IS Aerosmith as far as most people are concerned. No disrespect to the excellent musicians in the band, but Steven has one of the best, most distinctive voices in rock and they canNOT do better. Joe Perry announced via his twitter that the band was looking for a new lead vocalist after a fight with Tyler. They have been making music together for 40 years!!!! Perry has gone back and forth, also stating on twitter that, "you just can't take 40 years of experience and throw it in the bin!" So it will have to play out and we'll see. I say NO to a Steven Tyler-less Aerosmith!! Who's with me? [source]
