Skinny Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is so terrified of fattening up his trademark slender physique he subsides on a constant diet. The 59-year-old lives in dread of not being able to squeeze into the tight trousers he wore on the last Aerosmith tour.
He says, "I have to watch what I eat because I have this ongoing nightmare that I'm going to put on weight and end up looking like some of the other rock stars of a certain age who bounce around the stage.
"You look at them and think, 'Oh my God, what happened to you? How did you let yourself get like that?' I always call Joe Perry, my bandmate, and say, 'Do you still weigh 145 pounds?'
"For God's sake I still want to be able to fit into those pants I wore on the last tour. I just live by the motto that nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
"I don't eat regularly during the day and in the evening I tend to stick to wild salmon and broccoli. Every night before I get into bed, I do 250 sit-ups - religiously."
