No word on whether injuries Steven Tyler sustained in concert last night will cause Aerosmith to cancel their Aug. 17 date at Auburn's White River Amphitheatre. But Friday's show in Winnepeg, Canada is the first to officially get the ax; statement from the band's publicist as follows:

AEROSMITH will not perform their Friday, August 7 show at the Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg, MB, Canada based on injuries AEROSMITH lead singer Steven Tyler sustained when he fell from the stage at Wednesday’s show at Buffalo Chip Campgrounds in Sturgis, SD. Additional details will be issued when they are available.

Associated Press reports that Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries while performing in South Dakota.

Tyler fell while dancing after the sound system failed during hit "Love in an Elevator," but joked while being loaded into a helicopter en route to an area hospital, according to the AP story, which you can read on the band's fan site. TMZ has video of the incident here.

I recently interviewed Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, who discussed how Tyler's previous leg injury delayed the tour earlier this summer. I'm looking into how this might impact the band's scheduled Aug. 17 stop at Auburn's White River Amphitheatre. More as soon as I learn something.

Between spins on KISW-FM (99.9), landing some opening gigs for Buckcherry next week and a slot on the main stage at White River Amphitheatre on Aug. 22 for Pain in the Grass, you could call Atomic Outlaws Tacoma's hottest band.

Yesterday, I hung out with those boys for a spell for a story I'm working on for an upcoming issue of GO. And they were nice enough to let me record a few rehearsal tracks, including one that's been getting played on the ol' radio machine.

I don't know about you, but I think they're pretty well tuned up for White River. Check back in, and I'll post more as that show approaches.
