American Idol judge Steven Tyler is the lead singer for the band Aerosmith. His first season as a judge was Season 10, and guitarist Joe Perry pretty much denounced any association with the show. That’s pretty funny since I remember Joe actually appearing and performing with Sanjaya Malakar during Season 6. Perry’s protestations during Season 10 were obviously just some lame reaction out of fear of losing some kind of rock street cred.
Now, Perry tells Rolling Stone that Aerosmith will appear on the finale of Season 11, which is on Wednesday, May 23, 2012. They will perform their new single, which was not named in the Rolling Stone article.
Below, you can see the YouTube video of Aerosmith’s Joe Perry appearing with Sanjaya in Season 6.
