Aerosmith to Perform on AMERICAN IDOL Season Finale, 5/23

By: Caryn Robbins May. 11, 2012

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Steven Tyler and his band Aerosmith will perform on the May 23rd season finale of Fox's AMERICAN IDOL. The band is set to perform their new single from their upcoming album.

Aerosmith has long suffered from internal issues among the band's members, particularly due to Tyler's "obsessive personality and mean streak". In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, Tyler defended his character stating, "I think my perfectionism and my busting everyone’s chops is what got this band to where it is today. In the end, I get a really good song and in the end I get the hits. Yeah, I'm that good."

AMERICAN IDOL will host the series' two-night grand finale from the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE Tuesday, May 22 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) and Wednesday, May 23 (8:00-10:07 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. After weeks of performing on the AMERICAN IDOL stage, the two remaining finalists will perform live Tuesday in front of a theater audience of more than 7000 as well as millions of viewers watching at home. Then, on Wednesday night, at the end of a two-hour music celebration, host Ryan Seacrest will announce the next AMERICAN IDOL.

AMERICAN IDOL is produced by 19 Entertainment, a division of CKX, Inc. and FremantleMedia North America. The series is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, CEO, XIX Entertainment, and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America; Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America; and Nigel Lythgoe, CEO, Nigel Lythgoe Productions.
