Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler has denied that falling off the wagon caused him to fall off the stage.

Tyler told Rolling Stone that he was “as sober as you can be” while discussing the tumble, which happened at an Aerosmith gig in South Dakota.

Tyler, who suffered a busted shoulder in the incident, was asked by Rolling Stone:

What happened that night?

I don’t really know. There was a torrential downpour and the guys [at the campground] said: “Look, it’s still slippery.” I watched myself on YouTube, and it could have been my knee buckling or any ankle. The last thing I remember before I hit the ground was people grabbing for me, but they couldn’t reach me because of the barricade. At any other Aerosmith show I probably would’ve been caught and thrown back on to the stage — naked and without jewelry [laughs]. I stood up and couldn’t raise my arm and knew I’d broken something.

Care to comment on that clip of you in a liquor store?

Oh, Jesus Christ. A good friend of mine and Joe’s — the brother of the guy who works on my house, my housekeeper — passed away. I was at the funeral. And after the funeral, they’re Italian and had a feast at the house, a wake, and I stopped at the liquor store and paid for the booze. I did not buy any for myself. It was never proven that I did. Some kid whipped out a phone and took a picture. Anything to sell papers. It was for the wake. I would do it over and over a million times.
