Steven Tyler Pushed Offstage by Joe Perry

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 19th 2010 11:21AM

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, 59, doesn't know his own strength--or does he? While rocking out during the band's Toronto concert last night, 62-year-old Steven Tyler abruptly fell off the stage, and today, TMZ has obtained video footage of exactly how it happened: Perry gave his bandmate a hip bump, which sent Tyler flying headlong into the crowd. After bounding back onto the stage, the frontman reportedly exclaimed, "It ain't gonna happen again, baby."

The incident comes one year after the singer broke his shoulder falling from the stage during an Aerosmith concert in South Dakota (after which Tyler entered rehab to treat an addiction to painkillers).

Ironically, that 2009 injury occurred while the rock icons were performing 'Love in an Elevator,' the same hit single the band was playing in Toronto when Perry, mid-shred with guitar in hand, caused Tyler to stumble into the audience. (No injuries have been announced by Tyler's rep.) For two musicians famously icy toward one another-Tyler even reportedly told TMZ that the band "damn near" broke up last year-this mishap doesn't bode well for the rest of the tour, slated to last until mid-September.

I like the band and their music. But I'm wondering if their bumping uglies is now a strained relationship?

...another reason Steve should take a break from the stage and sit down to be an American Idol judge...

I think that Joe Perry bumped Steven Tyler offstage for revenge of what happened last year when Steven ended Aerosmith's tour and didn't talk to the other bandmembers. There's still some friction and anger from that and Joe wasn't afraid to show it.
