May 12, 2003

AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler was given an honorary Doctor Of Music degree from Boston's Berklee College of Music on Saturday (May 10). Tyler addressed the graduates and guests at the school's commencement exercises, which were held at the Reggie Lewis Track And Athletic Center in Boston. Tyler cautioned the students, saying, "A career in music is a road that's constantly under construction. Mine was paved with passion, ambition and a series of extremely lucky mistakes." He recalled how when he was just a child he told his mother he wanted to be a musician when he grew up. Click here to see pictures from Getty Images.
