After discord, rehab, Tyler back with Aerosmith, says band has never been better

The fall off the stage that caused the cancellation of Aerosmith's 2009 summer tour. His stint in rehab for prescription drug abuse. The fights with his bandmates, and the talk of replacing him as lead singer for Aerosmith.
That's because now that he's back at the helm of the group — belting out songs in front of thousands of fans — nothing else matters.
"The band has never been better, I'm singing better," said an energetic Tyler in a recent phone interview. "It's been beautiful and I realized when I was taking care of my problems that the band is all I really care about."

Tyler — who is on tour with Aerosmith in Europe and starts a U.S. tour with the band on July 23 in Oakland, Calif. — talked recently about his battle for sobriety, putting the discord behind him and being a "dancing fool" at 62.
AP: What has it been like to play with the band after the tumultuous last year?
Tyler: It's been a great tour. You know it's a little hard for me. Being in Aerosmith is like living on the tail of a comet. I've had a lot of injuries over the last couple of the years. I had ACL reconstruction on my knee ... operations on my feet, my mom passed away. A lot of things came to play that made it easy for me to abuse some things. ... Even though some of the people in the band were going public with some of the stuff which turned very ugly, I managed to pull it all back together again and say, "Look, let's just get out there and be the band that we know we are and not argue about this crap anymore."
