Steven Tyler served as a judge during the 10th and 11th seasons of the talent competition show and he quit American Idol Today. He released the statement below: 

 "After some long...hard...thoughts…I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my rabbit. I strayed from my first love, AEROSMITH, and I'm back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I've got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band. The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass – the ultimate in auditory takeover…On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, Music from Another Dimension on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and way beyond the stars…IDOL was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it's time to bring Rock Back. ERMAHGERD."

 Good Luck to Tyler--MsKemi @HipHossip

STEVEN TYLER SCREECHES THE AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

All I can say is take a look at the coaches and some of the players faces. I rolled off the floor and just said "stick to the Idol judging."Tyler’s rendition was off-key in places, screechy in most others and he messed up a lyric — it’s “the bombs bursting in air,” not “as bomb bursting in air.” Though he does get rock star fashion points for the festive scarf he was sporting to support his team, the AFC champion New England Patriots.
