Steven Tyler’s new manager has mailed a letter to Aerosmith’s management threatening to sue if the band finds a new singer. Read more on Tyler’s possible lawsuit below.
In the letter, Tyler’s lawyer Skip Miller maintains that Tyler is synonymous with Aerosmith: “Can you imagine the manager of the Rolling Stones calling for the replacement of Mick Jagger?” Miller writes. “Steven is Aerosmith, along with the others. He’s the guy the public knows. He’s the singer.”
Steven Tyler had entered rehab for his addiction to pain medicine and said he would stay in Aerosmith:
“I wish to set the record straight and say that I have read reports of a rumored two-year hiatus and want to be clear that this is completely false and I will enthusiastically be writing, recording and performing with Aerosmith as soon as things are handled.”
Miller’s letter added, “Steven Tyler does not want lawsuits. We do not want to go in that direction. The direction we want is Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler, touring in Europe, touring Latin America, releasing a new album… This is the direction it’s all intended to go.”
Tyler’s bandmates are rumored to have asked singers such as Billy Idol, Lenny Kravitz, and Paul Rodgers to fill in for Tyler on the road while the frontman works on “Brand Tyler.”
Steven Tyler’s lawyer said Aerosmith’s public singer search for a new singer constitutes “acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.”
