It appears the rumors are true, and Steven Tyler is gearing up to bring some “Sweet Emotion” to “American Idol.”
On Tuesday, E! News reported that “a very-inside source” confirmed that the frontman would indeed be heading to “The Other Side” of the stage – namely the judges’ table, where he will serve as a judge for Season 10 of the hit FOX television show.
Additionally, Deadline’s Nikki Finke reported that sources close to the rocker told her Steven’s “deal is done” for him to join the reality singing competition as a judge.
Access Hollywood too had a source that Steven’s deal was done.
Apparently the rocker doesn’t “Want To Miss A Thing,” as, according to E! News, he finished up negotiations with the show last week.
Beginning early next month, when the judges first meet contestants for “Idol” at the various city audition rounds across the country, Steven will get to judge if singers have “What It Takes” to make it.
Luckily for Steven, his new gig will be sitting down. On Tuesday Reuters reported that the singer fell off the stage again, this time at Toronto’s Air Canada Center, after guitarist Joe Perry bumped into him while the band was playing “Love in an Elevator.”
No word if the bump happened during the song’s lyrics — “going down.”
While Steven is reportedly in at “Idol,” it remains unclear who else could still “Walk This Way” over to the judges’ table for Season 10.
E! News reported FOX is still considering Jennifer Lopez despite her reported demands for hair, makeup, a styling team and a hefty dressing room. Additionally the network is said to be speaking with several “big celeb names,” the website claimed.
Last week, People reported that J.Lo was out of the running due to her reported demands.
