Steven Tyler has released a video for his solo track Love Is Your Name.
It’s the Aerosmith singer’s debut country music song and comes ahead of the launch of an album’s worth of similar material.
Tyler recently accepted his bandmates weren’t happy about his solo project but added: “I think we’ve got something here that the radio would love to play. That’s why I’m in it – to take the power of ‘wow’ to the 100th degree.”
Meanwhile, Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has confirmed he’s clear from cancer again after a second battle with the disease. He reports: “There’s a guy here in Boston who does novel surgeries and was able to do a procedure that got the cancer out of my throat without having to ruin the rest of it.
“I just saw him the other day and he said, ‘You beat this one. You can keep coming to see me if you want, but I don’t think you need to worry about this cancer coming back.’
“I said, ‘I’ll come back to see you every six months from here until eternity, if it’s alright with you!’”
