Steven Tyler's illness revealed
Permalink  

Sad to hear this- he is so great onstage, I hope this won't slow him down!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Steven Tyler says he was diagnosed with hepatitis C three years ago after having the illness for a long time without any symptoms.

In an interview that was to air Tuesday on "Access Hollywood," the 58-year-old Aerosmith frontman said the infection was now "nonexistent" in his bloodstream after 11 months of treatment, including the drug interferon.

"I've been pretty quiet about this," Tyler was quoted as saying. "I've had hepatitis C for a long time, asymptomatic. And I talked to my doctor ... and he said now is the time and it's 11 months of chemotherapy. So I went on that and it about killed me."

Hepatitis C is a liver disease spread by contact with the blood of an infected person, according to the Web site for the Centers for Disease Control, which recommends testing for intravenous drug users and transfusion recipients, among others. According to 2004 estimates by the CDC, 3.2 million people have the chronic infection.

"It is nonexistent in my bloodstream as we speak, so it's one of those few miracles in doctoring where it's like a complete cure. It's gone," Tyler said.

Drugs and alcohol nearly destroyed Tyler's music career, but he said in 2004 that he had been clean and sober for nearly two decades and was living proof that addictions can be conquered.

Pamela Anderson announced in 2002 that she had hepatitis C, which she was diagnosed with a year earlier.

But from what I understand, this can live in the body for years before it really shows up. (I think...)

I thought the article said that he has been clean, but he got Hepatitis C before he cleaned up.

I think he is about as clean as the panties that get thrown in his direction.

Have you ever seen them live? There is no way someone can have that energy and be on drugs. I have seen what cocaine and heroin does to people and I know when I saw him he was in awesome shape and full of energy. So I want to live in my fantasy world that he is clean.

I hear they rock pretty good. my friend amie was a security guard at one of their shows and he gets mad if any of the red shirts look at him! they didn't pay to watch him, they get paid to watch the crowd.


The other night while I was at the gym he was on some tv show with charlie sheen? I didn't tune in for sound, so I am not sure what that was all about.


lol I like the drug era Aerosmith. that mama kin, train kept a rollin stuff.

lol you were only blonde due to that whole peroxide thing in the 80s!


I wasn't sure of you meant steve tyler, steve perry, joe perry....


Aerosmith seems to be on a roll.....there was a song off of that blues album that I remember liking a lot. First song since Angel that I dug (from the "new" stuff)...


lol Sparky said he heard they had to postpone last tour because of Steve Tyler having emergency hemmorhoid surgery! well....at their age, that might be true too!

I am, I was only teasing! My poor hair- I am surprised I have 3 feet of it- it has been red- kool aid red, bleached, peroxided and stripped of almost all color! I am liking the natural look, but I have been itching to do a streak or two of blonde or something soon!

I had never thought of that- it is almost to the point it needs to be cut. Once I am sitting on it, it will have to be trimmed back. Right now I can tuck it in my pants!
