Steven Tyler Comes Clean About Getting Clean

Steven Tyler‘s pants are officially on fire, and it’s not due to a freebasing accident.

Back in May, when the 60-year-old Aerosmith singer checked into rehab, he claimed to be seeking a “safe environment” to recover from foot surgery.

His story was shakier than a junkie on a witness stand.

Tyler has finally admitted to the Associated Press that he really checked into Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena to break a dependency on pain and sleep medications.

“I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me,” Tyler ‘fessed up. “I just put the brakes on and checked into detox and just pulled the plug on all of it.”

It’s nice of you to finally admit the truth, but come on, dude. You’d been in rehab four times already. Did you really think that foot lie would fly? What, were you high?

Oh, wait…
