Steven Tyler Admits Aerosmith Almost Split

TMZ caught up with Steven Tyler at LAX yesterday where he admitted that he and his band, Aerosmith, “damn near” split up this past year.

Aerosmith Bandmates Say Steven Tyler is Struggling

Steven Tyler’s Aerosmith bandmates say they’re worried about their frontman’s health and well being.

“Steven, he isolates more and more all the time — that’s what gives it away to me that there’s something going on,” drummer Joey Kramer tells Billboard.com. “I don’t know what that is. I know he’s made some not so great choices and he’s got some negative influences around him now. I love the guy. I just want to see him get some help.”

Guitarist Brad Whitford acknowledges that “this guy[Steven Tyler] has a tremendous history of drug abuse, and you have to be suspicious that this is something that’s probably going on with him. I have a feeling we might be looking at someone who’s just really struggling very badly.” Whitford adds that Tyler’s behavior in recent years “was becoming more erratic and unreasonable” leading to the singer’s recent decision to take two years away from Aerosmith to focus on what he refers to as “brand Tyler.”

Kramer says he’s left several voice messages for Tyler, but none have been returned.

Whatever is going on, we wish them all the best.
