Rocker Steven Tyler has threatened to sue his Aerosmith band mates if they try to make good on their promise to hire a new lead singer, said Rollingstone.com. Tyler, who is currently in rehab, sent a letter to the band’s management saying Aerosmith doesn’t exist without him. “Can you imagine the manager of the Rolling Stones calling for the replacement of Mick Jagger?” the letter asks. The band has reportedly reached out to several other singers, including Billy Idol and Lenny Kravitz, in search of Tyler’s replacement.
