Good news for Aerosmith frontman

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has come clean about his health. The band had to cancel about three weeks' worth of dates this spring because Tyler was ill, and in an e-mail exchange with rollingstone.com, he admitted that his doctors "zapped a broken blood vessel in my voice box and it's healed." While that was the good news, Tyler said there's also been a downside to his downtime: "The bad: I gotta shut up. No talking for a month. Help! That's impossible! Don't they know I'm Italian?!"

Tyler also confirmed what bassist Tom Hamilton previously told us -- that Aerosmith will go back out on tour in the autumn.
