On this day, January 24, 1981, Steven Tyler, the legendary frontman of Aerosmith, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. The incident left Tyler hospitalized for two months, during which he underwent extensive recovery.

The accident occurred during a challenging period for Aerosmith, as the band was dealing with internal struggles, substance abuse issues, and a temporary decline in their popularity. Despite these hardships, Tyler’s resilience and determination eventually contributed to the band’s remarkable comeback in the late 80s, solidifying their legacy as rock icons.

Fun Fact: Steven Tyler’s injuries temporarily slowed down Aerosmith’s activities, but they returned to prominence with their 1987 album Permanent Vacation, featuring hits like Dude (Looks Like a Lady).

Trivia Question: What year did Aerosmith release their breakout album Toys in the Attic, which included the hit single Sweet Emotion?
 
I’m surprised that he was able to manage a motorcycle. He’s like a 100lbs soaking wet.
