Steven Tyler had a small accident after falling in his hotel bathroom.  The latest tumble of the 63-year-old rock and roll icon and ‘American Idol’ judge took place on Tuesday (October 25) in Paraguay causing him to be sent to a local emergency room.  According to a Reuters report, Tyler spent four hours at La Costa medical center in Paraguay’s capital and received emergency dental work and stitches to repair cuts to his face and the loss of two teeth.

The incident forced Aerosmith to cancel Tuesday night’s show in Asuncion, Paraguay, which was part of their current Latin American tour.  The outing kicked off on Saturday in Lima, Peru, and is slated to hit La Plata, Argentina, on Friday and swing through Brazil, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador and Mexico before heading to Japan in late November.  A spokesperson for the show’s promoter, Marcelo Antunez said that Steven Tyler had a small accident that prevents him from staging the concert that night.  He added that he is fine in his hotel but he was not able to do the concert.

The concert has been rescheduled for Wednesday (October 26) night. Another spokesperson for the promoter, Nicolas Garzia, tweeted that Tyler had been dehydrated and was suffering gastrointestinal problems before the tumble.  The last time Tyler fell was in August 2009, when he slipped off a stage in South Dakota and was airlifted to a hospital, which forced the postponement of the group’s North American tour.  The inter-group tension that followed almost resulted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s breaking up as the band briefly weighed searching for a new singer.

On Thursday (October 27), Tyler opened up about the spill to Matt Lauer on the “Today” show, clearing up any speculation that he had fallen off the wagon.  Tyler said that being in the program; it (referring to his past substance abuse issues) is something people have to expect.  According to him, people thinking that is natural and normal.  He said they flew from Paraguay the night after that incident and they were in Argentina for two hours.  According to him, anyone who knows anyone who uses substances would not be up during that hour when he was having a talk with Matt Lauer and the rest of America.  It is nothing that he does not understand.  He get that people think that which makes him a little upset.

Lauer then asked the singer straightforward whether he was sober or not, and the “American Idol” judge assured him he was clean. Tyler said that it was not the issue and added that he was suffering from food poisoning when he began to feel ill and passed out in the shower.  The singer noted about his appearance on his concert following the accident saying short of having his legs taken off, people are going to him onstage.  No matter what Tyler went out onstage wearing sunglasses for the first song and took them off making the crowd roar.  According to him, it is all about playing to the people saying that they rocked out and not only did he break his face but they broke a house record.  He then told Matt that life is beautiful.
