Steven Tyler went to rehab to recover from foot surgery.

The Aerosmith frontman - who checked into California's Las Encinas
Hospital's drug rehabilitation clinic last week - denies he was treated for
substance abuse, insisting he received medical help and physical therapy for
his podiatric problems.

In a statement released yesterday (05/29/08), the 'Walk This Way' singer
said: "The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it
would require a few surgeries over time.

"The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I had anticipated. The
months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy
were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I
could shut off my phone and get back on my feet."

Tyler - who battled alcoholism and drug abuse in the 70s and 80s - also
revealed his foot injuries were caused by his "trademark athletic
performance onstage".

The 60-year-old rocker has assured Aerosmith fans his current problems will
have no effect on the band, adding: "Make no mistake, Aerosmith has no plans
to stop rocking. There's a new album to record, then another tour."



Party on dudes.



Remember Bill and Ted? Supposedly a 3rd one is in the making.
