Steven Tyler took a page from the Kirsten Dunst playbook and came up with this bullcrap excuse for his recent rehab stay: his feet hurt.
“The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time,” Tyler says in a statement released Thursday. “The ‘foot repair’ pain was intense, greater than I’d anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet. Make no mistake, Aerosmith has no plans to stop rocking. There’s a new album to record, then another tour.”
According to the statement, Tyler was treated at the center after a series of surgeries and post-operative physical therapy “to correct long-time foot injuries resulting from his trademark athletic performance onstage.”
He checked into the Las Encinas Hospital drug clinic in Pasadena two weeks ago. The clinic is where VH1’s Celebrity Rehab’s psychiatrist Dr. Drew Pinsky works.
In an ironic twist, Dr. Drew was the one who taught me that you can’t go to rehab without being an addict. To wit:
“You cannot be admitted to a chemical dependency center in California without meeting the criteria, without being chemically dependent.”
And really, when you’re Steven Effing Tyler, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt.
I think this is code for .. my foot hurt so bad I got back on the pills and spun out of control. The mind of drug addicts and former drug addicts justifies things quite differently.
I always thought foot pain was the type of thing you went to a doctor for, silly me!
“I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
umm wouldn’t his villa in some far off exotic location suffice?
He is just so… repulsive….
well look at the positive, at least he knows its humiliating to go to rehab after the age of 100
