Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler is doing “amazingly well” after successfully completing a 30-day rehabilitation program following his battle with addiction.
The 74-year-old rocker is now said to be clean and sober and is doing “amazingly well” after checking out of rehab, family sources told TMZ on Friday.
According to the report, Tyler released himself from rehab earlier this week, having even voluntarily stayed longer than 30 days to ensure he wouldn’t jeopardize his sobriety in the future.
The actor entered rehab last May after relapsing while recovering from recent foot surgery.

Tyler has been open about his struggles with addictions in the past and opened up about his experiences in a previous interview with Haute Living.
He recalled, “The early ’80s were awful and drugs brought us down. I was the first to be treated. ’88 there was a moment when the management and the band intervened with me.’
The singer further noted that the unexpected event eventually led him to make numerous positive changes in his life.
“Today, because of this moment … I am grateful and I owe them a debt for my sobriety,” he said.
