Yes to the first part, no to the second. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith did fall off the stage during a gig in South Dakota on Wednesday night. However, contrary to Internet rumors, he hasn’t did from his injuries.
Which is a really good thing because not only is Tyler one of the best front men in rock, him dying from the fall would have taken the comedy value away from it. I’d have had to feel guilty for laughing.
That’s a strange thing about watching other people’s misfortunes – if you know they’re OK you can laugh at them, but if they are seriously injured or even die then it suddenly becomes a lot less funny.
In this case Tyler suffered minor injuries to his head, neck, and shoulders. Aerosmith will now reschedule some gigs as a result. maybe Tyler needs to lay off the rock’n’roll lifestyle a little. And stop doing those weird chicken legs dances on stage.
