Stephen Tyler is a well-known and popular performer in the world of rock music. For many years now, he has been pleasing his fans and fans with his presence on the stage and, of course, with inimitable vocal data. The lead singer of Aerosmith (the American band Aerosmith) is far from young, but still active and cheerful.
Rocker roots
The full name of the rocker is Stephen Victor Tallarico. He was born on March 26, 1948 in the city of Yonkers, which is located in the North American state of New York.
Stephen’s pedigree is very interesting. His father was also a musician, only he did not do heavy music at all, but classical. Stephen's parents had German and Italian roots, and his mother had the blood of Poles and Ukrainians, Indians and English. Tyler's grandfather on the part of his mother at one time made a name change. If earlier he was Chernyshevich, then he became Blanche.
A family
The lead singer of Aerosmith was the second child in his own family - he had an older sister named Linda.
Stephen was married three times. In 1978, Sirinda Fox became his chosen one, with whom he lived in a legal marriage for almost ten years. When he divorced Sirinda in 1987, he immediately celebrated his wedding with Elin Rose. The second marriage was clearly unsuccessful, the couple was able to hold out together for only one year.
In 1988, Stephen Tyler was again free. But freedom did not last long - in the same year he went down the aisle with Theresa Barrick.
The rocker has four children, including the famous popular actress Liv Tyler, who is familiar to many from the movie "The Lord of the Rings." Liv is not the daughter of any of Stephen’s wives, but the child of Bibi Buell, with whom the singer once had a relationship. Another Tyler's daughter named Mia also works in the film industry, and in the modeling business at the same time, but so far she has not found success and recognition.
Creation
In his youth, Stephen was enrolled in Roosevelt High School, but due to poor behavior, as well as due to drug use, he was soon expelled from there.
1970 was a decisive year for Tyler. This year, together with a virtuoso guitarist named Joe Perry, a young rocker founds a rock band called Aerosmith. The lead singer of Aerosmith in the group performs not only vocals. He also plays the harmonica, bass, flute and mandolin. Good performing skills are visible to Stephen when playing keyboards, violin and percussion. Such extraordinary skills and abilities served Stephen a good service.
During his musical career, the famous rocker not only played as part of his group, but also managed to create works together with other musicians and groups. So, among his partners in joint work there are such eminent rockers and a rock group as Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, Pink and Carlos Santana. He managed to work with reggae king Bob Marley, creating with him the original song Roots, Rock, Reggae. The lead singer of Aerosmith and the rappers did not shy away: with Eminem, he sang a song like Sing for the Moment. Close cooperation was established with other stars of the American scene.
Among Steven's solo works, the singles I Love Trash, Love Lives and (It) Feels So Good stand out. The last single finished thirty-fifth in the charts of the United States.
Dependence
November 2009 shocked Aerosmith fans. Stephen announced his resignation from the group. However, fans and music journalists did not have time to understand what was happening, three days later Tyler assured everyone that he was not going to leave his beloved team. Who knows what drove him to this? Perhaps an unhealthy addiction to drugs and spirits. Whether this is true or not, ordinary fans will most likely never know, however, just a month and a half after the statement was made, the Aerosmith soloist turned to a rehabilitation center with the goal of receiving treatment for drug addiction.
Interesting information
The music magazine Rolling Stone, which observes all the trends in the world of rock music, assigned 99th place to Tyler when rating the greatest vocalists.
In 2007, Stephen concluded an agreement with the gaming organization Activision, according to which the latter was allowed to use the image of the Aerosmith group, the songs of this rock band when creating the Guitar Hero game.
Vocalist Tyler is known for his frequent and ridiculous falls. So, one of the last such cases was a fall in your own bath. As a result of this, the singer lost two of his teeth.
In the fall of 2015, Tyler and the Aerosmith group gave a concert in the Russian capital. Before this concert, Stephen walked around Moscow, considering the sights, when he saw a street musician playing and singing near the Kuznetsk bridge. He sang the song I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. An American rocker approached the musician and sang with him. This story was captured on video by passing people, and the video itself gained a huge amount of views on the Internet.
Stephen Tyler is rightfully considered the legend and icon of classical rock music. Over his considerable career, the singer has had entire generations of devoted fans and fans.
