AEROSMITH - Steven Tyler Takes Another Tumble
August 18, 2010, 14 years ago
Brad Wheeler of The Globe And Mail reports:
Seemingly harmless roughhousing during an AEROSMITH concert Tuesday at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre resulted in flamboyant singer Steven Tyler being pushed by guitarist Joe Perry off a catwalk and into the crowd.
The incident occurred early in the hit-laden performance, during 'Love In An Elevator'. Tyler had lightly hip-checked Perry, who, after completing his guitar lick, looked over his shoulder before backing into the unsuspecting front-man. Tyler, 62, briefly teetered on the edge of the protruding walkway before falling into the throng. Eventually, with help from Perry, Tyler climbed back on the stage.
The occurrence was a dicey one for Tyler, who one year ago made headlines when he fell from the stage during an Aerosmith concert in South Dakota. That tumble left the strutting singer with a broken collarbone, which resulted in the cancellation of a series of summer tour dates, including concerts in Vancouver, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg.
Once composed, Tyler remarked: “It ain’t gonna happen again, baby,” undoubtedly referring to last year’s South Dakota debacle. “You’ll pay for that, my brother,” he then said, directing his remark to the lightly smirking Perry.
