Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has entered rehab to treat an addiction to pain killers. The flamboyant frontman issued a statement late Tuesday to People and Rolling Stone magazines saying he plans to resume work with his band, but first must deal with his drug problem.

“With the help of my family and team of medical professionals I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford,’’ Tyler said in a statement.
