Aerosmith singer Steve Tyler has entered rehab to deal with an addiction to prescription painkillers, according to reports.
People claims that Tyler developed an addition to the painkillers after ten years of performance related injuries.
The 61-year-old singer said in a statement "With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford."
He continued "I love Aerosmith; I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith. I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of."
Daughter Liv commented "My family and I are in complete support of my dad's decision to seek treatment. He is a courageous man. We love him and are so proud that he is getting help to balance his pain management, not just for himself but for his family, friends and fans."
