Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry Knows Surprisingly Little About Steven Tyler's Rehab Stint
The Aerosmith camp
has been tight-lipped about reports
that after two decades of clean living, 60-year-old frontman Steven Tyler has
checked himself into a drug rehab clinic in Pasadena,
California. Now guitarist Joe Perry
is breaking the silence ... not that he knows (or will reveal) much about the
situation.“I actually haven’t talked to [Steven] in a while,” Perry tells Blender during in an interview to promote the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith game. “We spend most of our time off the road split up — that’s just how it goes.” Does he know what Tyler’s in rehab for? “I’m not sure, but I hope he’s doing OK.”
Meanwhile,
Perry is undergoing his own recovery — from a recent total
knee-replacement surgery. “I’m about eight or nine weeks out from it,” he says.
“I still walk with a cane, but I’ll be up and running probably within the next
month. We have some press to do for Guitar
Hero and hopefully I’ll be able to make some of those events."
