The Many Falls of Steven Tyler

By Joe Rainboth • Aug 19th, 2010 • Category: Culture

Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, has proven that he doesn’t discriminate – he’ll go and fall off of any old concert stage. Tyler fell off the stage during a show in Toronto on Tuesday night, after being bumped by the band’s lead guitarist, Joe Perry. And again – it was caught on video.

At last year’s Sturgis motorcycle rally here in the Black Hills, Tyler fell off the stage during a concert out at The Legendary Buffalo Chip. It made news headlines across the country and resulted in the band canceling several concert dates. Publicly, there was even some dissension among the band members – specifically Tyler and Perry – after the Sturgis fall.

The Sturgis tumble left Tyler with a banged-up shoulder and a few other injuries. Thankfully, this most recent plunge didn’t appear to hurt him as he crawled right back up on stage and continued the show.

Coincidentally, he was singing the same song – “Love in an Elevator” – when both falls happened. Hopefully, Tyler can continue to keep performing and stop from falling from — well, everything.

Check out these videos of both falls that I found on YouTube. The first one is of Steven Tyler’s most recent fall in Toronto, Canada. The second video is of his fall last year during the 2009 Sturgis rally.
