Mia Tyler Shares Emotional Bonding Experience with Father Steven Tyler Amid His Health Struggles

Steven Tyler, the iconic Aerosmith frontman, has stepped back from the public eye to heal from a recent vocal cord injury and a broken larynx, incidents that have led to the postponement of Aerosmith's tours until 2024. The legendary 75-year-old rocker is currently taking the necessary time off to recover, receiving immense support from his family, including his 44-year-old daughter Mia Tyler, despite their complicated past.

Mia Tyler Reflects on Reconnecting with Her Father

On an episode of her podcast Bad Bad Babydad with co-host JayDee Milo, Mia disclosed that their father-daughter relationship, which became strained in her teenage years following Steven's divorce from her mother, actress Cyrinda Foxe, has taken a positive turn. Mia relayed a powerful moment of vulnerability she shared with her father, a story about how music became a bridge to communicate her emotional turmoil to him.

Music as a Medium for Emotional Expression

Mia had attempted to help her father understand her depressive state and inner struggles by giving him a copy of Slipknot's self-titled album with the request, 'Listen to this. If you want to understand how I feel, just listen to this.' After a while, Steven did listen to the album and had a profound emotional reaction. Mia described how her father called her while in tears and apologized after listening to the entire album in seclusion, sitting on a fallen log in the woods of Massachusetts. This pivotal experience fostered healing and strengthened their bond.

The Path of Recovery for Steven Tyler

While Steven gradually recovers, Aerosmith's excited fanbase anticipates his return to the stage. The band had previously announced the unfortunate delay of their performances, moving them to early 2024. Steven conveyed his deep disappointment at not being able to perform and reassured fans of Aerosmith's commitment to returning as soon as possible. Details on the rescheduled tour dates are forthcoming, with fans holding onto hope for the star's recovery and his triumphant return to live performances.
