Jan 31 2010 – Billy Idol is rumored to be Aerosmith’s hot favorite to become their lead singer. Bill Idol was supposed to see Aerosmith for a discussion but he caught a cold and missed his meeting.

Steven Tyler may be getting his exit from Aerosmith soon. Tyler had been battling personal problems and the band had been waiting a long time for him to overcome those.

Tyler had spoken about leaving the band last year. However, he later backtracked and denied having soloist ambitions. Despite refuting rumors that he was quitting Aerosmith, the rest of the band seemed tired of contradictory remarks. Aerosmith may be finally taking the hint and started looking for replacements.

The band did not want to be in a state of limbo and talk started about the manhunt for a replacement singer.

Steven Tyler’s real name is Steven Victor Tallarico. He’s coming to 62 years old on March 26. Tyler became a well known drug and alcohol addict in the 1970s.

By 1986, Tyler had been into rehab and succeeded in beating back the demons for 20 years. Misfortune struck Tyler in 2009 when he had surgery for some problems and became addicted to painkillers. Tyler was admitted into rehab for this problem. The band was vexed because their hope to tour was dashed.
