Steven Tyler, the charismatic singer for Aerosmith, fell off the stage at a concert at a motorcycle rally in South Dakota on Wednesday night and was reportedly airlifted to a local hospital with neck and shoulder injuries.
The Rapid City Journal is reporting that Tyler took a dive shortly after the legendary rockers began their song 'Love In an Elevator' at the famed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Apparently, the sound system had cut out. A witness told reporters that he tottered backward and fell from the stage. He was promptly helped up by security, but was then taken backstage.
Guitarist Joe Perry emerged and told the audience that his lead singer was heading to the hospital.
Mike Sanborn of the Buffalo Chip Campground, where the concert was held, said Tyler was in "good spirits" as he was ushered away.
"He was good natured about it," he told the Associated Press. "He was talking and joking with the physician."
This was the first time Aerosmith had performed at the rally, and promoters had earlier predicted the band would draw the biggest crowd in South Dakota history. The number of bummed-out fans has not been released.
Inevitably, there will be footage of the tumble on YouTube. As soon as one of the camera phone-wielding bikers gets out of bed and uploads it, we'll post it here.
