Steven Tyler Talks About His Fall
Falling off the edge
By now, you probably all know that the remainder of Aerosmith's tour has been canceled due to injuries Steven Tyler sustained during his fall from the stage. Now Steven is talking about exactly what happened on that night.
Even though Steven Tyler was injured enough in his fall to have to cancel the rest of his tour, it looks like he's going to be OK. And now he's discussing exactly what happened when he fell from the stage.
He says that after a thunderstorm delay, the band was playing one of their best shows ever, when fuses started blowing and they had a complete audio system failure. But Tyler didn't want to stop playing.
Here he describes exactly what happened from there: "I wanted to go out to the crowd to continue the show... so, the Train Kept A- Rollin' and I ran out on the cat walk and grabbed my mic to finish the song. I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged... AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge...I fell off the edge!"
We love his description of the fall! He "zigged" when he should have "zagged." And he "fell off the edge instead of living on the edge. We're happy that Steven Tyler seems to be in good spirits and can joke about what happened.
He says of his injuries, "I landed upside down, and after twenty stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder, I just want to say that I'm plain grateful that I didn't break my neck! In truth, after thousands of live shows, falling off the edge four times ain't too bad."
He thanks everyone who helped him and the angel on his shoulder. We hope he makes a speedy recovery and can get back on the road in no time!
