The Stage Epidemic Continues

First of all, WTF @ the picture above. Okay, moving on...

In the past month, Madonna's stage collapsed, killing two, and then a stage collapsed just before Kevin Costner's band was set to play, killing one and shocking thousands that he actually has a band. But anyway, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is the latest victim. According to the Associated Press:

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries in a tumble from the stage at a South Dakota concert and joked about the fall as he was loaded into the helicopter to be taken to a hospital, a concert spokesman said Thursday.

Tyler, 61, whose performances often include swaying and grinding on microphone stands adorned with scarves, fell while entertaining the crowd by dancing around after the sound system failed.

"He was good-natured about it," Sanborn said. "He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician."

South Dakota? So basically, he was playing in a field for 3 guys and a sheep. I'm also really surprised South Dakota has a helicopter, that's pretty cool. Maybe they'll get a black guy some day.
