Steven Tyler is high on life these days, thrilled with his newfound sobriety and his gig on American Idol. In a new People cover story, the Aerosmith frontman explains the appeal of new job alongside Jennifer Lopez.
"If you think going out in front of high-def cameras and millions of people I'm not high on adrenaline, you're crazy … I'm stoned when that curtain drops," adds Tyler, 63, whose been sober for a year and a half. "I just don't snort the curtain dropping. I don't snort J. Lo either, though I do breathe her in."
It’s odd, off-the-wall comments like that which have people tuning in to hear what he’ll say next. It’s also made him popular water cooler talk the next day and endeared him to untold numbers of Idol fans.
