LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-AUGUST 5, 2019…IT WAS 2009 AND AEROSMITH WAS TOURING AMERICA WITH ZZ TOP ON A GREAT DOUBLE BILL. ON AUGUST 5TH, THEY WERE THE HEADLINER’S IN STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA. IT WAS AT THIS GIG THAT 61 YEAR OLD STEVEN TYLER FELL FROM THE STAGE ONTO A COUPLE OF FANS. TYLER SUFFERED HEAD, NECK, AND SHOULDER INJURIES AND WAS AIRLIFTED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, JOE PERRY CAME OUT TO TELL THE CROWD THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW WAS CANCELLED. TYLER’S INJURY HAD A RIPPLE EFFECT ON BONE LISTENERS. AEROSMITH DAYS LATER WERE FORCED TO CANCEL THE REST OF THE TOUR. UNFORTUNATELY AEROSMITH WAS SCHEDULED TO PLAY BONE BASH X AT THE CONCORD PAVILLION ON AUGUST 19TH, WHICH MEANT ANOTHER BONE BASH HAD TO BE CANCELLED.
HERE’S TYLER’S FALL OFF THE STAGE (GRAINY VIDEO)
