Aerosmith Redux: Turmoil or Rockers Being Rockers?

You saw the YouTube video of Steven Tyler, right? No, not the video of his shoulder-cracking fall. The video of him shopping at Pembroke Center Liquors and looking like a frail elderly woman. The fall at Sturgis earlier this month, and his physical appearance, is causing concern about the 61-year old rocker to a degree that the rest of Aerosmith is united against Tyler in a passive-aggressive fued that screams rock star, at least that's what the nameless sources allegedly connected to the band tell the Herald's Inside Track.

Fellow Aerosmithians Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford allegedly haven't heard directly from Tyler since Sturgis and are refusing to complete their next album until the voice of the band is "sober" and "healthy," words attributed to "sources" by the Track. Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa also report concerns about his personal life and business affairs.

There may have been a recent clue that there was trouble in Team Aerosmith. When the band canceled their tour, Perry was quoted by Reuters, and others, as saying "Words can't express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour." According to Twitter.com/AdmiralPerry, which might be fake, but seems real, Perry reportedly said "I am so sorry about vocalist Steven Tyler having to cancle (sic, emphasis added) our Aerosmith Shows.I can't say Im sorry enough you guys are great fans to have."

Each quote leaves a different impression.
