Steven Tyler Walks This Way to Rehab
May 21, 2008 6:24 PM
Decades of rocking hard have caught up with Steven Tyler, again.
The Aerosmith frontman, 60, has checked into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic, according to Usmagazine.com. It's the same center where Dr. Drew Pinsky treated patients for VH1’s "Celebrity Rehab."
Tyler's love of alcohol, heroin and cocaine has sidelined him before. In the late 1970s, he and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry were dubbed the Toxic Twins for their backstage indulgences. Their addictions almost broke apart the band, but after long overdue stints in rehab, they staged a career-saving comeback 10 years later.
But over the past few years, Tyler's health has been making more headlines than his music. In March 2006, he had surgery to correct a popped blood vessel in his throat. Later that year, he went public with his 10-year-long battle with hepatitis C.

Like so many other "rock idols" Mr. Tyler needs to turn his life and heart over to Jesus Christ. Like Mr. Tyler (except the "rock idol" part, I have "been there,done that". Jesus is the one who finally sobered me up because of His forgiveness,mercy, and grace. If you are in that situation right now and you want to be clean of all that "junk" turn your life and heart over to Jesus. It is up to you, and you alone.

He's just a drugged up punk who happens to have a lot of money, so that somehow gives him credibity. If he were some nobody living in a trailer all you fool celebrity worshipers would just consider him trash.
