Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has been airlifted to hospital after falling from a stage during a concert at South Dakota’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
The 61-year-old entertainer fell while he was dancing around on stage after a sound system failure cut off the band’s music in the middle of their hit song, Love In An Elevator, according to the venue’s spokesman, Mike Sanborn.
Tyler was doing his best to keep the crowd entertained while the sound issue was fixed, Sandborn said, and was on the stage’s catwalk when he “fell backward onto a couple of fans.” Security rushed in to help him, with the record crowd cheering when the singer got back up.
Sanborn explained: “[Tyler] was good natured about it. He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician.”
“It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening,” the venue spokesman added.
Tyler suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury in the fall, but it isn’t clear exactly how serious these injuries are.
Tyler suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury, but it wasn’t immediately clear how serious that was, he said.
The fall occurred at around 12:15 a.m., and Tyler was taken backstage immediately after the fall. Shortly after, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry came back out on stage and told the audience that the show was canceled, as Tyler needed to be taken to the hospital.
Tyler was airlifted to the Rapid City Regional Hospital, the only major hospital in the region, Sanborn said.

Jeff Goldblum Dead?

This is UNCONFIRMED, but it appears that actor Jeff Goldblum has died while filming in New Zealand.
Police in New Zealand have just broken the news that the actor, famous for his role in the Jurassic Park movies, has taken a fall on the set of his new film and passed away.
This story will be updated as soon as more news becomes available.
UPDATE: This is looking like a cruel hoax at this stage, folks. News of his supposed “death” is all over Twitterverse, but with no confirmed reports, I believe we can file this under “jokes that are totally NOT cool”.
