Aerosmith has postponed at least one weekend concert in the wake of Steven Tyler’s fall from the stage at a South Dakota show, in which the band’s frontman sustained head, neck and shoulder injuries, according to an Associated Press report.
Tyler, 61, fell several feet while sashaying around the stage as the sound crew replaced a fuse that had blown during the song “Love in an Elevator,” according to a concert venue spokesperson.
A concertgoer told the AP that Tyler’s head was bleeding and he was holding his shoulder after the fall, but it remained unclear Thursday how seriously he was hurt. The frontman was airlifted to Rapid City Regional Hospital for treatment.
The aging band’s Friday concert in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was postponed. On June 28, Tyler hurt his leg at a concert in Uncasville, Connecticut. and the band postponed seven shows in July. Tyler also battled pneumonia before the tour began in June, while guitarist Joe Perry fought a knee infection.
