Steven Tyler Falls, Gets Up, Gets Hurt

Aerosmith's often acrobatic frontman Steven Tyler fell from a stage at a Sturgis, South Dakota concert and suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries on Thursday. Tyler, 61, reportedly was awake and joking with a pyhysician while being loaded into the helicopter to be taken to Rapid City (S.D.) Regional Hospital hospital. Spokesmen for the Buffalo Chip Campground, the site of the concert, and the Mitch Schneider Organization, which represents Aerosmith, couldn't confirm how serious his injuries are. Tyler was promoting his Dirico Motorcycles in Sturgis and performing at Buffalo Chip. Aerosmith's next concert is in Canada on Friday.

    He got knocked down, but he got up again, you've never going to keep him down!

    Sorry, I thought we could all use a little Chumbawamba.
