Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler fell off the stage during a performance last night at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. According to the Associated Press, he was airlifted to a hospital after tumbling backwards off the stage while dancing during a break in “Love in an Elevator” to entertain the crowd when the sound system failed. Will post TMZ vid shortly.

Now, I can die a completed human being. Thank you, Mr. Tyler

This is idiotic. Why the link if there's no video yet? You can't even manage to do your half-assed "jobs" right.

Just what he needs, a reason to take pain meds.

What a buffoon. Someone needs to tell this guy to get back under the rock he crawled out of.

Umm... Someone needs to tell Bruce Warner that Steve Tyler actually lives in a beautiful multi-million dollar home, not under a rock...
