Steven Tyler Airlifted to Hospital After On-Stage Accident

After an accident while performing “Love on an Elevator” (too awesome) at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota yesterday, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler found himself being airlifted to the closest hospital after suffering neck and shoulder injuries. Tyler was initially assisted backstage until it was realized that the aging rock icon was in need of more serious medical attention.

The event’s spokesperson told the Associated Press “He was good-natured about it. He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician.”

It’s been a rough couple of years for Tyler, which included rehab stints for both himself and his daughter Mia, so we’re hoping that he’s on his way to a speedy recovery and able to reclaim the stage in time for Aerosmith’s upcoming Canadian tour scheduled for this summer.
