STEVEN TYLER Says AEROSMITH Sales Are Up 260% Since He Joined American Idol
January 9, 2012, 12 years ago
The American Idol judges - featuring AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler, RANDY JACKSON, JENNIFER LOPEZ - spoke with Access Hollywood about the upcoming season which is set to return with a two-night event showcasing the nation’s most extraordinary talent Wednesday, January 18 and Thursday, January 19. Auditions will continue with a special, extended primetime broadcast of American Idol Sunday, January 22 (10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT) on FOX.
Tyler revealed that behind the scenes, his life has changed since appearing on Idol, despite his superstar rock ‘n’ roll status.
“(Last season) it wasn’t really accepted up front (with the rock community), mostly from my own bandmates because they didn’t know what was going on with the Aerosmith thing at the end. But it’s brought younger kids to our music anyway,” he said, noting Aerosmith sales last year were up 260 percent.
Additionally, the rocker said it’s been hard for him to now step out in public.
“It’s like, ‘Really?… I can’t go anywhere anymore,” he said.
