Aerosmith Reportedly Rescheduling More Canadian Dates

After postponing Aerosmith’s Friday show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, because of injuries frontman Steven Tyler sustained from falling off the stage during a show in South Dakota, sources are reporting the band is rescheduling a few more Canadian dates.

Tyler, 61, fell during last Wednesday’s show at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at Buffalo Chip Campground. The band was playing “Love In An Elevator” when the soundsystem failed. Tyler decided to continue dancing up a storm while the crew did their thing fixing a blown fuse. He missed a step and fell off a runaway, onto the crowd of fans. After being airlifted to a nearby hospital, medics discovered Tyler had broken his left shoulder and needed stitches to the head.
