LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Aerosmith front man Steven <NOBR style="COLOR: #009900; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_0_0>Tyler
</NOBR> says he has entered a rehab clinic to treat an addiction to pain killers he has taken to cope with 10 years of performance injuries.
Tyler says in a statement released Tuesday to People and Rolling <NOBR style="COLOR: #009900; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_1_0>Stone </NOBR> magazines that he is eager to return to work with his bandmates.
The band canceled a summer tour in August after Tyler fell off the stage during a performance in South Dakota and broke his left shoulder.
Tyler's doctor Brian McKeon told People that orthopedic injuries over the past decade have left the 61-year-old rocker with severe chronic pain that will require surgeries on his knees and feet.
A message left by The Associated Press after business hours for Tyler's manager Allen Kovac was not immediately returned.
