Steven Tyler addressed rumours about his health in a statement on Aerosmith’s website this week.
Tyler recently cancelled the remainder of Aerosmith’s South American tour due to “unexpected medical issues.”
“It breaks my heart to have left this tour early. The band has never played better. Just watch the 100,000 people at Rock in Rio,” the 69-year-old singer writes.

The statement continues: “I give you all an A+ for creative speculations, but I certainly did not have a heart attack or a seizure (unless Joe Perry is taking a rippin’ lead.) Sorry to have cut the tour short, but I had to have a procedure that only my doc in the states could perform.”
“We’ve been to Tel Aviv, to Russia, to Rio, and all the in between. I guess it’s true what they say…’that life’s a pisser when eu’re a peein,'” he concludes, without giving any details about his condition.
