Joe Perry says that his bandmate broke his shoulder and needed stitches from his fall offstage on Wednesday.

Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler broke his shoulder and needed stitches in his head after falling off of the catwalk into the crowd at a concert in South Dakota, the Associated Press reports.

Guitarist Joe Perry said the band plans to discuss what Tyler's injury means for the future of Aerosmith's current tour.

The 61-year-old front man fell several feet while dancing around on stage to entertain the crowd while the sound crew replaced a blown fuse at the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the Wednesday night concert during the Sturgis Motorcycle rally. Tyler was flown to Boston to meet with his own doctor.

After the fall, Perry decided to take the tour bus home and stop at radio stations along the way to promote his upcoming solo album, "Have Guitar Will Travel." Perry said that while the band had to cancel only a couple of shows during its first 25 years, it has been plagued with bad luck during the past three years, having to postpone seven shows due to injury in July alone.
