I cannot believe the rest of the band of Aerosmith. Steven Tyler recently entered rehab and is trying to fix himself up. He wants to take a 2 year break and the rest of his band does not. So the rest of Aerosmith has been shopping around for a new lead singer. Lenny Kravitz and Paul Rodgers were both approached to head Aerosmith. After hearing this news, Tyler decided to contact his new manager to send of paper work threatening to sue the rest of Aerosmith if they decided to go through with getting a replacement for him. In a recent Rolling Stone article, it had this to say about the situation:

teven Tyler’s new manager has sent a letter to Aerosmith’s management threatening legal action if the band makes good on their promise to tour with a new singer, Billboard reports. In the letter, manager Skip Miller asserts that Tyler is synonymous with Aerosmith: “Can you imagine the manager of the Rolling Stones calling for the replacement of Mick Jagger?” Miller writes. “Steven is Aerosmith, along with the others. He’s the guy the public knows. He’s the singer.”

As Rolling Stone previously reported, prior to entering rehab for an addiction to prescription pain medicine, Tyler vowed to stay in Aerosmith, saying in a statement, “I wish to set the record straight and say that I have read reports of a rumored two-year hiatus and want to be clear that this is completely false and I will enthusiastically be writing, recording and performing with Aerosmith as soon as things are handled.” Miller’s letter reiterated Tyler’s sentiment, noting, “Steven Tyler does not want lawsuits. We do not want to go in that direction. The direction we want is Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler, touring in Europe, touring Latin America, releasing a new album… This is the direction it’s all intended to go,” Billboard reports.

Tyler has made a few unexpected public appearances while in rehab, first singing at a local pub’s karaoke night and then surprising Home Depot shoppers with an impromptu performance over the hardware store’s loudspeaker system. His bandmates, meanwhile, are rumored to have asked vocalists like Billy Idol, Lenny Kravitz (who declined) and Paul Rodgers to fill in for Tyler on the road while the frontman works on “Brand Tyler.”

Miller has asked for a February 9th meeting to discuss the future of Aerosmith with all five members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band and asserted that their public singer search constitutes “acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.”

What is Aerosmith thinking. It is not Aerosmith without Steven Tyler. Let the man get better, than continue on if you want. The band is very old as it is, and has had many hits and tons of time to collect money. I’m sure they could retire if the band even fell apart. I would not want to be the person replacing Tyler, it’s a disgrace. It’s like Journey who got the guy to replace Steven Perry, Journey is not the same. I know I wouldn’t pay money to see a replacement singer singing for Aerosmith.
