Who could EVER replace Steven Tyler? Well, apparently Chris Daughtry.
Aerosmith has been touring for decades, despite some feuding between Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, but that doesn’t mean they would actually replace him right?
In a recent interview, Chris Daughtry said he was approached by Joe Perry to become the new lead for Aerosmith in 2009 after “lack of Aerosmith activity.” Around that time, Steven had entered rehab and then became a judge on American Idol.
During the interview, according to Blabbermouth, Daughtry explained:
“I get this random call from Joe Perry — Joe Perry and Steven were apparently at odds with each other. Joe Perry calls me. … I thought it was a joke at first, but he didn’t even take time to, like, ‘How’re you doing?’ He just went into his reason for calling me. … ‘How would you feel about hitting the road with us? You’ve got some cool songs we could play too.’”
“I was speechless. First of all, I don’t consider myself any caliber of singer that Steven Tyler is as far as I would not be able to tackle those songs the way Steven Tyler tackles him. He is irreplaceable, in my mind. Furthermore, Steven Tyler’s alive. This whole fear of pissing off one of my heroes was just looming, and I was, like, ‘There’s no way I can do this, Joe.’”
Since then, the band obviously didn’t replace Steven Tyler. Read more from Blabbermouth HERE.
