Despite their strong start, Aerosmith faced a rough patch in the late ’70s and early ’80s, largely due to Tyler’s struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. It was a tough chapter for both him and the band. In his 2011 memoir,Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?(as reported by theNew York Post) Tyler pulled back the curtain, giving fans an inside look at the drama that went on backstage,
I blew $20 million. I snorted my Porsche, I snorted my plane, I snorted my house in that din of drugs and booze and being lost.
Tyler nearly emptied his finances and sold off assets like his house, plane, and luxury car to feed his addiction. It wasn’t until his eighth rehab visit in 2009 that he finally took his life seriously. Speaking to People Magazine (viaCBS), he said,
Left to my own devices, I probably would have been dead several times over.

Though the spotlight showcases the glam, those who’ve looked behind the curtain know he’s hadmore than threechances to land where he is today, and for that he is extremely grateful.
