Steven Tyler Falls Off Stage – Steven Tyler hurt his head, neck and shoulder as he falls off the stage while dancing around at a South Dakota concert, then joked about the fall as he was loaded into the helicopter to be taken to a nearby hospital for tests.
Steven Tyler, 61, fell off the stage while doing dance moves with the microphone stand after the sound system failed during the song “Love in an Elevator,” said Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the outdoor concert in Sturgis, South Dakota, where a huge motorcycle rally drew tens of thousands to the area.
“He was good-natured about it,” Sanborn said. “He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician.”
Sanborn said it wasn’t immediately clear how serious Tyler’s injuries were and that he was taken to Rapid City Regional Hospital, the only major hospital in western South Dakota.
“He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand. He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage,” Sanborn said.
Tyler fell onto a couple of fans in the crowd of thousands, Sanborn said. Security rushed to help him and the crowd cheered when Tyler got back up and he was taken backstage, where a physician attended to him.
Around 12:15 a.m., Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry came out to tell the audience Tyler was being taken to the hospital and that the show would not go on.
“It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening,” Sanborn said.
