Steven Tyler: "Nevermind!"
OK. Looks like Steven Tyler isn't quitting Aerosmith after all. On Tuesday, the singer shocked everyone in attendance - including his band mate, Joe Perry - when he showed up at a Joe Perry Project gig eager to hop on stage.
After picking his jaw up off of the floor, Perry welcomed his estranged compadre onto the boards, and a reportedly blistering "Walk This Way" ensued. According to the Associated Press, Tyler told the crowd he was not leaving Aerosmith, which was news to Perry.
Still, the future of the band sees less than clear. Here's what Perry told the AP after the gig:
"He was the last person I expected to see," Perry said. "You never know with him. Every time I figure I've got him sussed, he always does just the opposite."
Of Tyler, Perry added: "I think over the last few years he's just kind of drifted away from the band's goals and plans, and really without communicating that stuff to the guys."
Hmmm. I am completely confused. So, apparently, is Tyler. But man, can he sing.
