At the same time that Steven Tyler has decided to take a break from the band Aerosmith, his bandmates are expressing concerns over the aging rocker's well-being. Specifically, they believe that he may again be abusing illegal drugs.

Drummer Joey Kramer said:

"I think that he needs help and that attention needs to be put to his health."

And by that Kramer isn't referring to the broken shoulder that Tyler suffered in August when he fell off a stage during a concert.

Tyler has battled an addiction to drugs in the past. Just last year in May 2008, Tyler checked himself into rehab. At the time, his turbulent relationship with his girlfriend was said to be part of the reason. She was quite the party girl and their relationship was on-again-off-again for more than two years. Others, however, suggested at the time that his relapse might also be connected to Tyler's various health issues in recent years, leading to a dependence on pain killers.

Back in May 2008, one of his friends commented:

"He's had throat surgeries, a long bout with hep(atitis) C and two foot surgeries. He's been in a lot of pain. And she's a party girl. Not a good combination."
