Rocker Steven Tyler, 64, says he's grateful the tumble he took from a stage last week at an Aerosmith concert in Sturgis, South Dakota wasn't worse. Tyler was hospitalized after he slipped and fell during a performance on August 5.
Aerosmith has since announced it is canceling the remainder of its tour while Tyler recovers from his injuries.
People.com quoted Tyler as saying in a statement issued Thursday:
"I landed upside down, and after 20 stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder, I just want to say that I'm plain grateful that I didn't break my neck,. I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged...and I slipped, and as I live on the edge...I fell off the edge!"
