Share

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has admitted that he entered rehab last month because he had become dependant on painkillers.

Tyler had previously claimed that he checked into Aurora Las Encinas Hospital in Los Angeles in order to find a “safe environment” to recover from surgery on his feet.

Now, in a statement released to the Associated Press news agency, the singer has revealed that he has been battling addiction problems.

"To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics," Tyler said.

"You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don't know about (guitarist) Joe (Perry) but I was off and running and I didn't like the me that was me.

"This was a month ago, so I just put the brakes on and checked into detox and just pulled the plug on all of it," Tyler added.
