At 34, the Manhattan-born musician’s former personal assistant is 40 years younger than him.
Steven previously completed rehab stints in 1984, 1986, 1988, and 2010 – the latter of which was for ‘pain management and an addiction to prescription painkillers resulting from 10 years of performance injuries.’
At the time, Tyler’s physician, Dr. Brian McKeon, told People that the orthopedic injuries to his knees and feet left him with ‘severe chronic pain.’

Tyler told Haute Living in 2019: ‘I have had many times in my life where I just couldn’t handle, whether it was a marriage or my addiction had reared its ugly head, and the rest of the guys in the band are not unlike that. But we have all seen each other through it, and we are here today. My whole life is dreams coming true. I am so beyond grateful for it all’
‘My sobriety cost me nothing less than everything,’ the Daytime Emmy nominee told Haute Living in 2019.
