Aerosmith's Steven Tyler falls backwards offstage, airlifted to the hospital
UPDATE: Check out the video TMZ has of Steven Tyler's tumble off stage, and the crowd's shocked reaction!
Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, known for dancing wildly with his microphone stand decorated with long, trailing scarves, fell off the stage during a performance at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota on Wednesday night
According to the Associated Press, he was airlifted to a hospital after tumbling backwards off the stage while dancing during a break in "Love in an Elevator" to entertain the crowd when the sound system failed.
Halfway through the performance, Tyler, 61, fell from the stage onto a couple of fans.
He was reportedly in good spirits afterward, even talking and joking when he got into the helicopter to go to the hospital.
Yikes. Shades of Natasha Richardson?
Tyler reportedly suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury.
Tyler attended Sturgis last year to promote his Dirico Motorcycles line, and was doing the same thing this year, and performing.
