But [they](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060322/ap_en_mu/people_aerosmith) don’t say for what. Anybody got any more information? I think **Troy** is the huge fan on the board… so sir, should we be concerned? I even checked out their website and, as of yet, it still has nothing listed.

Oh man, if I were the praying sort (who actually believed anyone heard mine), I’d be tearing up the carpet and my knees.

Please be okay Mr. Tyler. You’re my absolute favoritest in the world. And I don’t want to ever (I know) have to replace you on The List. At least, not until whoever is my successor has it. ☹ Or you can just aim for immortal. That’d be good with me.

Nooooooooo! Oh, man, I hope this is just something cosmetic, or vocal chord nodules, or something benign and boring.

I **LOVE** Aerosmith and Tyler in particular. He better be all right, dammit.

The dj on the local classic rock station said something about an infection on one of his vocal cords. No cite or anything, just what he said after the Aerosmith two-fer this afternoon.

I’m pretty worried actually. I hope he recovers.

The rumor going around is he has throat cancer.

My neighbor is related to Joe Perry, but just went home for the season. If she were still here, I might have been able to get the lowdown on Steven.

Don’t know any more than what Google News is telling me. I certainly hope it’s nothing serious. That throat should be in the Smithsonian.
