Steven Tyler of rock band Aerosmith has entered rehab in Boston for addiction to prescription painkilers.

“With the help of my family and team of medical professionals I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio,” the singer said in a statement.

Rolling Stone reports that Tyler called earlier rumors that he demanded a two-year break from Aerosmith “completely false.”
