Steven Tyler, infamous rockstar and lead singer of Aerosmith, arrived at Studio 54 in the MGM Grand shortly after midnight today to host his official after-party following the MGM Grand Garden Arena concert by the “Bad Boys from Boston”. He walked the carpet in a red velvet knee-length jacket, black Aerosmith t-shirt, rocked out jeans with metal embellishments, and black Croc slippers. On his arms were long-time girlfriend, Erin Brady, and daughter, Mia, plus-size model, designer and former VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club TV star.
Once inside, Tyler was escorted to his VIP skybox where he was surrounded by 30 close friends and family. After just a few short minutes, he grabbed the mic, gave a shout out to DJ Ody Rock working the turntables below, and went into an impromptu surprise performance of “Walk This Way”. The crowd erupted with excitement and began singing along with his every word. As he hung over the second-floor balcony, serenading the clubgoers, swarms of fans crowded around his VIP entrance, vying for a closer glance of the celebrated rock icon.
Included in his entourage were Matt Sorum, drummer of rock band Velvet Revolver (formerly of Guns N’ Roses); Ace Harper, founding diva of up-and-coming girl rock group, Darling Stilettos; and Mark Hudson, producer and songwriter that co-wrote over a dozen Aerosmith hits.
