Steven Tyler is making pretty bad excuses for why his face now looks like an abused crack whore's. It's understandable that he doesn't want the public to think that this was drug-related, but come on. His explanation is about as good as a high schooler with a shiner saying that her roided up boyfriend didn't beat her, she just fell into a doorknob.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, when Tyler says he walked into his hotel shower in Paraguay, "got nauseous (from food poisoning), started to get sick and I fell on my face and I just passed out."
But this was not a fall off of the wagon, says Tyler, who relapsed from decades of sobriety in late 2009 and underwent three months of rehab. "That's not the issue," he told Lauer.
"It's nothing I don't understand. It makes me a little upset. But I get that people think that. It's something that bothers me and it's something I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life."
