Steven Tyler
Aug 23, 2010
One celeb who has consistently stayed connected to "Idol" in the headlines is Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and according to the band's bassist, Tom Hamilton, Tyler's deal to judge the Fox competition is done.
Hamilton spoke with New Jersey newspaper The Star-Ledger for an interview that won't be available in its totality until August 23rd. "Steven is doing 'American Idol.' The ink is dry on that," Hamilton told the Star-Ledger reporter.
"Steven is someone who absolutely lives to be in front of an audience, and the people closest to him know how witty and entertaining he can be," Hamilton went on. "I don't know if 'American Idol' will be rock 'n' roll enough for him, but it is an opportunity for millions of people to see another side of Steven Tyler."
