Aerosmith Steven Tyler Relapsed, Checked Himself Into Rehab
In a joint statement that the band has posted, the band revealed that Steven Tyler had had a drug relapse after working on his sobriety for years already.
As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years. After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery," the statement reads.
The rock icon has confirmed that he was diagnosed with "Morton's neuroma," days after photos of his tangled toenails on the beach were snapped and made circles online.
Cleveland Clinic defined Morton's Neuroma as a foot condition that most often affects the nerves between the third and fourth toes. Two nerves connect there, and they can become trapped under the ligament, causing them to move awkwardly when a person walks, runs, or dances. (via NBC News)
