Steven Tyler speaks out on embarrassing, tour-canceling fall

1249564756steven-tyler-2006-clive-davis-pre-grammy-awards-party-0dqtm0Steven Tyler, for those keeping score at home, is sixty-one. As far as we’re concerned, Aerosmith can retire — but Tyler “lives on the edge.” Still.

Tyler, like Bret Michaels and “the nose incident” before him, is taking this fall in stride.

“I wanted to go out to the crowd to continue the show… so, the ‘Train Kept A- Rollin’ and I ran out on the catwalk and grabbed my mic to finish the song,” said Tyler, referring to his attempt to stall while technical difficulties resolved.

“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!”

The “Tyler shuffle,” ladies and gentlemen. It’s somewhere between “the Carlton shake” and “Go Ninja Go.”

“I landed upside down, and after 20 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 finished.

There’s a song in there somewhere.
