Topics include Kramer's new book, Hit Hard, sobriety, depression, and the breakdown he suffered after quitting drinking and drugs. He also talks about "how he let money rule his life and how he had to come to terms with who he was outside of Aerosmith in order to really grow."

A string of health setbacks and rumored internal bickering is fueling speculation that rock band AEROSMITH is breaking up, observers say.

The appearance of a fan video showing vocalist Steven Tyler, who broke his shoulder from a fall from a stage this month, looking frail as he shopped at a Pembroke, Mass., liquor store is making fans wonder if the end is near for the legendary group, The Boston Globe reported Sunday.

In addition to Tyler's August 5th fall in Sturges, S.D., he also hurt his leg at show earlier this summer, causing seven dates to be canceled. Guitarist Brad Whitford hit his head getting out of a car, forcing him to miss the band's first shows in June, and bassist Tom Hamilton, a throat cancer survivor, skipped shows due to an unspecified medical treatment, the newspaper noted.

Guitarist Joe Perry, however, posted a series of Twitter messages Saturday denying the speculation, saying, "Aero is NOT breaking up!" and asserting the band is only on hiatus until Tyler recovers.

The Globe said Tyler's recent decision to hire a separate management company and the continued absence of a long-promised new album are also reinforcing reports of tensions within Aerosmith.

In his first official interview since falling off the stage in South Dakota on August 6th, singer Steven Tyler spoke with David Browne from Rolling Stone about the event and the future of the band. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Rolling Stone: What happened that night?

Tyler: "I don’t really know. There was a torrential downpour and the guys [at the campground] said, 'Look, it’s still slippery.' I watched myself on YouTube, and it could have been my knee buckling or any ankle. The last thing I remember before I hit the ground was people grabbing for me, but they couldn’t reach me because of the barricade. At any other Aerosmith show I probably would’ve been caught and thrown back onto the stage — naked and without jewelry [laughs]. I stood up and couldn’t raise my arm and knew I’d broken something."

Rolling Stone: Were you sober?

Tyler: "As sober as you can be."

Rolling Stone: How do you respond to reports of dissent within the band?

Tyler: "Someone is leaking stuff, pretending to know, and you know, I don’t even care. Has the band done things to me where I’ve wanted to quit? Positively. But I’ve stuck in there for the sake of a few sounds we got. I respect the power this band has in and of itself regardless of who says what."

Rolling Stone: When did you last speak with the other guys?

Tyler: "Two days ago. Shit’s good. I’m not the leader. No one’s the leader, we’re just one for all, all for one. It’s probably why we’ve never quit. No one’s got enough money! We split it evenly."
