The Aerosmith drama keeps on building it seems.
Just hours after word leaked out that the band was considering rock legend Billy Idol as a temporary frontman, among others, Steven Tyler‘s reps say the singer is considering filing a lawsuit to block such action.
Tyler’s L.A.-based lawyer, Skip Miller, has sent a letter to Aerosmith manager Howard Kaufman asking that Aerosmith’s management “immediately cease and desist from engaging in acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.”

Miller says he called for a meeting of Aerosmith’s “shareholders” on February 9 to talk about the future of the band, including the recording of a new CD and concert tours this year of Europe and South America.
The letter also says that “we reserve all of our legal rights and remedies in this matter, including, without limitation, pursuing legal action for damages and other appropriate relief.”
“Steven Tyler does not want lawsuits,” said Miller. “We do not want to go in that direction. The direction we want is Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler, touring in Europe, touring Latin America, releasing a new album … This is the direction it’s all intended to go. It’s just amazing to me current management would be taking any other position.”
This should get uglier before it gets prettier. We’ll keep you posted.
