AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler has broken his shoulder after falling off the stage during a concert on the veteran rock band's ill-starred summer tour, an insider said on Thursday.
Tyler, 61, also received stitches in his head and back following Wednesday's mishap in South Dakota, according to a Twitter message sent by Billie Perry, the wife of Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry.
"Yes he is very sore," she wrote, adding that there was no word yet on when the tour would resume.
Tyler accidentally stepped backward off a catwalk while performing "Love in an Elevator" for thousands of motorbike aficionados attending an annual gathering at Buffalo Chip Campground in the town of Sturgis.
The concert - at the midway point when the accident occurred - was stopped, and Tyler was airlifted to a hospital. Perry's Twitter message said he would see his own doctor soon, and that his bandmates have returned to their Boston base.
