here's a rumor going around that Steven Tyler is dead from the fall off stage he took on Wednesday night at a performance in Sturgis, South Dakota. Tyler fell during Aerosmith's performance of Love In an Elevator and was taken to the emergency room for injuries to his head and neck. As of yesterday, details of how serious those injuries were were not released and now there's a rumor circling that he's dead. Is it true?The world of Rock'n'Roll can rest easy. He didn't walk away without any injuries though. He broke his shoulder and bled profusely on the way to the hospital. The band had to postpone tonigh'ts concert in Winnepeg, Canada.I don't know why these rumors start but they're scary when you first hear them. After losing one of the world's best performers just a month ago in Michael Jackson, I don't think we're ready to lose another one.According to AP Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries in a tumble from the stage at a South Dakota show, a concert spokesman said Thursday, and the audience thought it was part of his hipshaking act until he didn’t get up.

Tyler, 61, fell 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 Rapid City Regional Hospital, Sanborn said, the only major hospital in western South Dakota. A hospital spokeswoman would not confirm whether Tyler was there, and a representative for Aerosmith’s publicity firm said the company was gathering information about the accident.
