Rocker Steven Tyler, 60, has released a statement claiming he checked into a rehab facility to recuperate after a series of surgeries and post-operative physical therapy to correct a foot injury.

"I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet," Tyler said in a statement Thursday. "Make no mistake, Aerosmith has no plans to stop rocking. There’s a new album to record, then another tour.”

Earlier this month, the Aerosmith frontman checked into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation, the center where Dr. Drew Pinksy treated patients for VH1’s Celebrity Rehab.

Tyler has sought treatment for drugs before. "Of course, I did way too many drugs. I sunk to my knees and lost everything," he has said to Britain's Independent newspaper.

His daughter, Liv, has also been getting media attention recently having just announced her split from her musician-husband, Royston Langdon.
