Spinner dug up an interesting tidbit from a recent interview in 'Classic Rock' magazine about what's happening with Aerosmith. We've been following their story since the outset of their seemingly cursed tour, one that ran in fits and starts while bandmembers recovered from injury or illness. It all came to a crashing halt when frontman Steven Tyler was seriously hurt after falling offstage. Since then, guitarist Joe Perry has been very vocal about the possibility that Tyler's days with Aerosmith may be numbered.

Now it sounds like Tyler might welcome that opportunity. He told 'Classic Rock,' "I don't know what I'm doing yet, but it's definitely going to be
something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself -- Brand Tyler,"
which sounds like a cross between a marketing ploy and a rehab mantra.

But that doesn't mean that the music will stop. There's talk that the remaining members may find a new lead singer, like fellow rock dinosaurs Journey and Queen. Brad Whitford said, 'I'm not sure how good that would look, it would largely depend on who we could get and who would want to do it.'

Sounds like a great opportunity for Gary Cherone to step into the breach! If he can put up with the Van Halen brothers, singing for Aerosmith should be a cinch!
