Steven Tyler Returns to Rehab

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Rock

Steven Tyler has checked himself back into rehab.

The Aerosmith frontman entered an unnamed center to seek treatment for his addiction to painkillers, which comes from years of orthopedic injuries.

The 61-year-old rocker - who was recently rumored to have quit the band - said in a statement: “With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford.”

“I love Aerosmith and I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith. I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of,” Tyler added.

Meanwhile, one of Steven’s daughters has offered word of encouragement. “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,” actress Liv Tyler stated.

In 2008, Steven went to rehab for a pain and sleep medication dependency.
