Steven Tyler Would Return to American Idol

09/24/2012
. (hennemusic) In a new interview with E! News to promote Aersomith's forthcoming album, frontman Steven Tyler talks about how his participation on American Idol caused some drama with his bandmates and he says he would be up to returning to the show.

"We'd just come off a tour and I took Idol and I didn't tell these guys, to be fair, and they got bummed out," says the singer. "We got into a lot of ya-ya because of tumult that happens in a band. Sometimes stuff doesn't get talked out quite properly, but it always turns out as songs down the line anyway."

When asked if he would ever return, Tyler seemed totally for it...but not as a judge. "I wouldn't go back and be a judge, but I'd be a mentor," he says. "I loved the fact that you go through 700 people, and out of that, you really can pick someone that has talent, because they have to audition anyway. And I'm just grateful that Jennifer and I and Randy could pick people that wound up being so good." more on this story
