Steven Tyler says he "snorted half of Peru" over the course of his drug-addled rock career -- easily spending at least $5 million on cocaine before he finally kicked the habit.


The Aerosmith singer revealed the drug numbers on Australia's "60 Minutes" this week, saying he spent a fortune on booger sugar as a young rock star ... "Probably, realistically, 5 or 6 [million], easy ... You could also say I snorted half of Peru, but, you know, it's what we did."
Tyler's been open about his former drug addiction for a while now -- telling Matt Lauer back in 2011, "I needed that cocaine. I needed it." But he said it ruined him, adding, "It took my children away, it took my marriages away. I was on my knees."
Tyler sobered up in the mid 80s but later relapsed. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2003, which he believes he contracted as a result of his intravenous drug use.


Tyler's been in and out of rehab numerous times, but now considers himself sober.

Still pales in comparison to super mod Murph who some say "snorted half of Peru, all of Brazil and Mimi-me from the Austin Powers movies "

I guess that snorting Columbia would have been quite a task!

all those 60's ,70's' 80's rockers ( and beyond and still) were/are druggies....somehow they can handle it ( at least a lot of them can ).

How is Keith Richards still alive ?

It's just part of the lifestyle, much like a Charlie Sheen type of actor doing blow and Ho.
