After wrapping up his umpteenth trip to rehab earlier this year, Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler made his official return to public life on Sunday night when he sang “God Bless America” at the Boston Red Sox home opener against World Series champs the New York Yankees.

The hometown hero was joined by his daughter Chelsea as he belted out the anthem during the game’s seventh inning. It marked Tyler’s first stage appearance since checking out of rehab for an addiction to painkillers — which is good news for Aerosmith fans in Europe and South America; the star will almost certainly be joining his bandmates on a tour of the continents this summer.
