Was talking to Steven Tyler recently about stuffs. Somehow the marriage topic came from nowhere and we were discussing about some things related to it. At one stage, I was asking him what actually happen between him and Barrick. After 17 years together they went separate ways. The following are account details of his side of the story........

Steve - people like us in this industry are always mistaken for our way of life. When we met long time ago, we were both crazy and wild, and partying was a part of our life. When we decided to get married, we promised to support each other and that we understood each other's commitment to the industry. She told me she will support my work and fully understood my role when I'm working. However, throughout the years, I changed and put family life as priority, hence the cutting down on partying and other stuffs. Even at that, I am always questioned everytime she saw photos of me or the band partying after our gigs. Worse, any female who appears in our photos will be ridiculed to have an affair with myself or the band members, despite their healthy family life.

To cut story short, it went on for many years but I kept mummed about it and let it pass. Until recently, I had a gathering of industry's greats and went with my band. She insisted I was with some other women. She claims that I missed partying so much that left the family (herself) to go back to my old ways.

The entertainment industry is always projected or seen to be partying at all times. Therefore, when we are working, the general public think we are partying. I'm not denying that there were booze, and laughter and an amount of fun, but do they really know how we partied??

From then on, it was downhill.........

Steve refuse to talk about it and the disappointment in his face showed. Not because of his separation but how words were turned against him. He loved Barrick so much that he didn't want to really tell his part of the story and just moved on. Drugs and alcohol came back, and so does the music....... but not his love of his life.

Moral of the story is ......... Rockers are human too and have feelings. Women will say whatever they want to make sure they are never at fault.



btw, the article above is just a figment of my imagination.
