HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler has entered a rehab facility, TMZ reports.
The 60-year-old rocker reportedly checked into Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., for substance-abuse treatment, TMZ.com says.
The facility is the same clinic in which Dr. Drew Pinsky, the host of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew," practices.
Tyler, who is the father of actress Liv Tyler, has long battled substance-abuse problems. He collapsed onstage during several performances in the early 1980s, a time in which he suffered from a heroin addiction.
"Of course, I did way too many drugs. I sunk to my knees and lost everything," he once told Britain's Independent newspaper.
In 2006, Tyler also revealed that he had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, having undergone 11 months of treatment after the disease was first discovered three years earlier.
