AEROSMITH's JOE PERRY, STEVEN TYLER Interviewed By FOX NEWS

August 7, 2010

A two-minute video report from Fox News on AEROSMITH's current North American tour, including interview clips with the band's vocalist Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry, can be viewed below.

Perry was interviewed on the August 4 edition of "The Cowhead Show", the American radio program hosted by Mike "Cowhead" Calta and broadcast live Monday through Friday on WHPT in Tampa Bay, Florida and re-broadcast on Rock105 (WFYV) in Jacksonville, Florida. Perry spoke about AEROSMITH's current tour, his health and the rumors of AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler becoming a judge on Fox's "American Idol".

Regarding the reports that Tyler has supposedly agreed to appear on the new season of "American Idol", Perry told Cowhead, "I was taken totally by surprise. . . First of all, why would he wanna do that instead of cruise on with AEROSMITH? We've got an album that we wanna do, we wanna do another tour, we wanna go back to South America, we wanna do Japan... We've got so many things lined up, and then this happens . . . If that's what you really have to do, let's talk about it, let's plan it out, you know what I mean?! We've all got families, we've all got different things going on, we've all got different things we could do. . . It's like getting hit over the head."

The relationship between Tyler and the rest of AEROSMITH has been a strained one of late, and earlier this year there were rumors that the rest of the band was looking for a new vocalist.
