Steven Tyler In Rehab

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler might be 60 years old, but that hasn’t stopped him from rocking. Apparently it hasn’t stopped him from drugs and drinking either. According to TMZ, Steven Tyler checked into rehab in Pasadena, California. In fact, they say the facility he’s gone to is the set of “Celebrity Rehab” that is run by Dr. Drew.
