On This Day In 2009, Steven Tyler's Famous Fall In Sturgis

It was 14 years ago today when Aerosmith was forced to postpone it's concert after frontman Steven Tyler fell off the stage the night before. The band was performing at the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when they began their set and immediately experienced technical difficulties. Ever the showman, Tyler decided if they couldn't hear him, they could still see him, so he proceeded to do the 'Tyler shuffle' and as he said in a statement "I zigged when I should have zagged ... and I slipped, and as I live on the edge … I fell off the edge!” The frontman suffered a broken shoulder and a cut to the head that required 20 stitches, and subsequently, the rest of Aerosmith’s tour was canceled.
