It is no secret that Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has been going through a rough n'tough time personally and with the band over the past few weeks (or months, depending where you read). Rumours circulated about Tyler quiting the band, while other said he was joining Led Zeppelin for their reunion, meanwhile he was lustering guns for a legal battle with Aerosmith amid allegations of drug use relapses and surprise appearances at bars (yes, no joke)
Joe Perry sat down for a chat with the UK's Classic Rock Magazine and one of the things they discussed was Tyler's flip floping. Perry did confirm that Tyler had flown to London (albeit without the band's knowledge) to audition for the LedZep gig--reported to be rather embarrasing for Tyler.
So, who's going to sub-in for Steven? when asked, Perry cleared up the circulating online rumours about the possible offers already made to pipes the size of Chris Cornell, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers (who recently had a short-lived frontman gig with Queen) However, as Perry explains, no official offers or auditions have been conducted yet. One thing that he made clear was the fact that the band is open to the idea of finding a female singer.
All in all, the band is taking a 'Steven is on Vacation' attitude as explained by Perry.
