Aerosmith Drummer Joey Kramer Heart Problems Band Cancels Tour Dates

Joey Kramer -- the drummer for Aerosmith -- had heart complications Tuesday and the band has cancelled some upcoming shows ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to the band tells us ... Kramer has had heart issues in the past.

A member of the crew told us ... the 64-year-old will undergo heart surgery, but we could not confirm that.

The group has now cancelled the Concord, CA concert scheduled for Wednesday night.

We're also told members of the crew have been told the Washington show -- scheduled for Saturday -- will also be cancelled.

Joe Perry Vandalizes Wall Dude Looks Like a Tagger

Our street art sources tell us Perry contacted a local graffiti artist named RISK to scout locations where they could plaster the Aerosmith logo and "Let Rock Rule" ... the name of their upcoming tour.

Problem is it caused a major issue for the owner of the building -- who tells TMZ they were slated to do a photo shoot on the wall Perry defaced.

The owner says he's a big Aerosmith fan so he's not pressing charges -- but he had no idea about Perry's tagging mission ... and was forced to push back their client's shoot so they could paint over the wall ASAP (below).

Law enforcement sources tell us if Perry is caught in the act -- marketing or not -- he will be arrested for vandalism.

We reached out to Perry ... and in true rockstar fashion he said, "let the music do the talking."

Steven Tyler Topless Hawaii Joyride How Many Naked Chicks Can You Count?

BOOB ALERT -- if you didn't already know it was Steven Tyler in this video ... you might think there were two topless chicks cruising around in the back of a Jeep Wrangler like drunk high schoolers.

The person who shot the footage tells TMZ, he honestly believed he was being tailed by a car with two topless women -- until the Jeep got close enough for him to see ... it was actually Steven.

It's unbelievable. You can even hear Steven singing at the top of his lungs.

We've said it before ... but this time, dude really looked like a lady.

Michael Jackson MJ's People Expose Big Stars as Drug Addicts

Michael Jackson's people have just thrown Britney Spears, George Michael, Van Halen, Aerosmith and other big names under a big tour bus, because MJ's people have just labeled them hard-core drug abusers just to make a point in a lawsuit.

Here's the deal. Lloyds of London has refused to pay benefits under an insurance policy that AEG took out in case MJ was not able perform for the "This Is It" tour. Lloyds rejected the claim on grounds Michael and AEG defrauded the company by failing to fess up that MJ was a drug abuser.

Now the bus. The Michael Jackson Company (MJC) sued Lloyds, demanding payment. MJC claims in public documents -- obtained by TMZ -- that a number of artists, including Britney, George, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Kings of Leon, AC/DC, Johnny Hallyday and Whitney Houston all were known drug addicts and all of them applied for similar insurance to Lloyds.

MJC wants to see how the other rock stars were treated to determine if Michael is being singled out unfairly.

Short story -- to make their case, they're going to tar and feather every other rock star and act in sight.

Aerosmith Cancels Indonesia Concert After Bomb Scare

Aerosmith has cancelled a concert in Indonesia scheduled for Saturday after two militants were arrested for allegedly plotting to blow up the Myanmar Embassy.

A promoter for the show in Jakarta blamed the cancellation on safety concerns -- it's unclear if there was a direct threat to the band or the concert venue.

Cops in Indonesia said two suspected militants had been arrested in connection to the bomb threats -- and explosives were seized. According to reports, the militants are suspected of plotting to use the bombs against the Myanmar Embassy in Jakarta to protest Myanmar's treatment of Muslims.

Aerosmith apologized for the cancellation and promised to make it up to the fans there, but there was no immediate news about rescheduling.

Steven Tyler $6 Million Cocaine ... Say What?

Steven Tyler has us baffled ... not by the fact he claims to have dropped $6 mil on nose candy -- but by the strangely awesome numerical riddle he laid on our camera guy! Math just ain't our thing.

Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!

Steven Tyler I Spent $5 Mil on Cocaine

Steven Tyler says he "snorted half of Peru" over the course of his drug-addled rock career -- easily spending at least $5 million on cocaine before he finally kicked the habit.

The Aerosmith singer revealed the drug numbers on Australia's "60 Minutes" this week, saying he spent a fortune on booger sugar as a young rock star ... "Probably, realistically, 5 or 6 [million], easy ... You could also say I snorted half of Peru, but, you know, it's what we did."

Tyler's been open about his former drug addiction for a while now -- telling Matt Lauer back in 2011, "I needed that cocaine. I needed it." But he said it ruined him, adding, "It took my children away, it took my marriages away. I was on my knees."

Tyler sobered up in the mid 80s but later relapsed. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2003, which he believes he contracted as a result of his intravenous drug use.

Tyler's been in and out of rehab numerous times, but now considers himself sober.

Steven Tyler I'll Play the Bongo ... You Watch My Schlongo

TMZ CHALLENGE!!!!

See if you can watch this video of a mankini-sportin' Steven Tyler bangin' away in a drum circle in Maui ... and NOT stare at his drumstick.

Impossible, right????!

Anyway, we obtained this incredible footage of the Aerosmith singer layin' down a beat during one of those hippy drum circles usually reserved for Venice Beach ... or Matt McConaughey's house.

Word on the street is ... the hot chick in the background is Tyler's rebound chick ... which sorta makes sense since there have been reports he broke up with fiancee Erin Brady.

In related news ... penis.

Steven Tyler Gives Beyonce HOT PASS on Fake National Anthem

Beyonce could've done a sock puppet lip-sync of the "Star Spangled Banner" -- as far as Steven Tyler's concerned -- as long as her smoking bod was in plain view at the Inauguration.

Steven was outside the Viper Room, and when we asked about B's lip-syncing debacle he said ... "Beyonce's so hot she can do anything. Let's just get real."

Aerosmith's frontman didn't seem the least bit bent about the controversy, and even belted out ... "Whatever gets you through the night" ... LIVE, mind you.

So, has Steven ever, y'know -- faked it?

Check the clip and get the answer straight from those famous lips.

Johnny Depp with Aerosmith Dude Looks Like a Rock Star

Proving he can do whatever he wants and still look cool, Johnny Depp joined Steven Tyler and the rest of Aerosmith on stage at the band's show in L.A. on Monday.

With the crowd going wild, the 49-year-old "Pirates of the Caribbean" star jammed with the band for two songs. Johnny's impromptu gig comes just days after he performed with Alice Cooper at his concert at the Orpheum Theater last week.

Fun Fact: In the '90s, Johnny played guitar/bass as part of the alternative music group P.

Steven Tyler Drops F-Bomb on 'Today'

Steven Tyler had a rough morning -- not only did he not know what show he was on, he also dropped an F-bomb on live television!

Tyler -- who is probably never awake at such an early hour -- performed with Aerosmith on the "Today" show this morning ... only he thought he was on a different program. Al Roker's reaction ... priceless.

Then, while Roker was giving a weather update, Tyler screamed in the background to the crowd, "Thanks for coming out, you crazy f**ks!"

And now you know why rock stars perform at night.

Steven Tyler Calls Bulls**t on Nicki/Mariah Feud

Steven Tyler thinks the entire Nicki Minaj/Mariah Carey beef is being orchestrated by the show for ratings ... and as a former judge on the show, he's one to know.

Our photog spotted the Aerosmith rocker last night leaving an L.A. restaurant -- it's called Son of a Gun (we like the name) -- and when we asked him if the entire feud was BS, he scoffed and said ... well, watch the video and you'll see.

And just in case you had hopes the scarfed one might make an "A.I." return some day ... Tyler proclaimed he'd never go back.

It's not safe for a delicate person like him.

Johnny Depp Single, Ready to Mingle ... at Pink Taco

A freshly-single Johnny Depp threw on some eyeliner and his finest pashmina last night ... and partied his face off with his boys from Aerosmith ... the first time we've seen the actor in public since announcing his split from Vanessa Paradis.

Depp was among the legion of stars who attended the Aerosmith after party at Pink Taco in West Hollywood -- a list that included Jim Carrey, Seth Green, Lana Del Rey and the guys from Tokio Hotel.

One source inside the party tells us, "Aerosmith rented the place out ... one of the greatest parties I've ever seen ... legendary."

It's been roughly six weeks since Depp and Paradis broke things off -- after spending 14 years together. Maybe a little Pink Taco action is just what the doctor ordered.

Joe Perry Grudging Acceptance of 'American Idol'

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry seems to finally get it ... Steven Tyler's gig on "American Idol" is good for the band.

Perry was at LAX yesterday when he was asked how he felt about Tyler returning to "A.I." as a judge. Perry replied, "It's tough having your lead singer have a day job .. but ya know, what can you do?"

But when asked if he would ever PERFORM on the show ... Perry said, "Yeah, that could probably happen."

It's a big change for Perry ... who slammed the show back in 2010 as an advertising machine that's only "one step above Ninja Turtles."

So why is Perry coming around on Idol? Might have something to do with Aerosmith planning to release a new album in May ... and some PR on the "Idol" machine could have a huge impact on sales.

Steven Tyler Dude Looks Like a Fiance

Steven Tyler is domesticating himself ... because his longtime GF was sporting a huge rock on her finger this weekend ... and sources close to the rocker tell us it's an ENGAGEMENT RING!

63-year-old Tyler and 38-year-old Erin Brady hit Maui on Xmas day ... along with a massive new diamond. It's unclear if Tyler proposed before or during the tropical vacay.

The two have been dating since 2006. Tyler has been married twice before ... he married a model in 1978 and a clothing designer in 1988.

Steven Tyler I Did NOT Fall Off the Wagon

Steven Tyler claims he did not fall off the wagon before he fell on his face in the shower this week ... but says he understands why people might not believe him.

Tyler -- who went public about his issues with substance abuse in the past -- called in to the "Today' show this morning to talk to Matt Lauer about rumors he was using again.

Tyler responded, "I get that people think that ... It still bothers me a little, but it's something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life."

He added, "We flew last night from Paraguay after that incident and we're in Argentina for two hours. And anyone who knows anyone who uses substances wouldn't be up at this hour having a talk with Matt Lauer and the rest of America."

Moments later, Matt asked, "But you're clean and sober, that's not the issue?"

Tyler replied, "No, it's not the issue."
