The Aerosmith frontman fell off the stage in Sturgis, South Dakota while his band was performing “Love in an Elevator,” The Rapid City Journal reports.

He suffered minor head and neck injuries as well as a shoulder injury.

Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground tells The Associated Press, that the 61-year-old rocker fell backwards onto a couple fans while he was dancing.

“He was good natured about it,” Sanborn says. “He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician.”

“He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand. He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage.”

“It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening,” he adds.

Tyler was taken backstage to be evaluated by medical personnel before being airlifted to Rapid City Regional Hospital, where he is still being treated.
