Don't walk this way

Steven Tyler

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has been hospitalised after falling off stage.

Mr Tyler, who is 61, fell whilst dancing in an effort to entertain the crowd after the sound system failed at a concert in South Dakota.

Matt Becker, a journalist covering the gig, said "during a spin Steven lost his balance and fell...and there was no-one there to catch him."

The singer reportedly suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries, the extent of which have not been revealed, but they are not thought to be too serious.

The veteran rockers' recent concert appearances have been plagued by health problems.

Seven shows were postponed this summer after Tyler suffered a hamstring injury, bassist Tom Hamilton missed several gigs whilst recovering from surgery, guitarist Brad Whitford also missed some recent gigs with a head injury, and last January's Venezuelan performance was cancelled when guitarist Joe Perry developed complications with his replacement knee.
