ROCK SICK LIST: Steven Tyler

As we try to put aside internet rumours that Mark E Smith might be seriously thinking of calling time on The Fall, we hear that Aerosmith have cancelled the rest of their tour and gone on hiatus to allow Steve Tyler to have unspecified surgery.

We're guessing it's something more serious than an impacted wisdom tooth if it's sent the band into closedown. Although his people are keeping quiet on the details, his publicist Marcee Rondan did let slip that "Tyler's doctors advised him not to continue performing to give his voice time to recover," which would seem to suggest something throat related, then.
