Aero-smith's Steven Tyler suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries in a tumble from the stage at a South Dakota show. The audience thought it was part of his hip-shaking act until he didn't get up.
Tyler (61) fell several feet while entertaining the crowd by dancing around as the sound crew replaced a fuse that blew during the song Love in an Elevator, said Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the Wednesday night concert. An amateur video showed him spinning around before falling off the stage.
A concertgoer said Tyler's head was bleeding and he was holding his shoulder after the fall, but it wasn't immediately clear how seriously he was hurt. The frontman was airlifted to hospital, Sanborn said.
"He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand. He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage," Sanborn said.
