AEROSMITH singer
Steven Tyler has admitted to snorting his way through around $5-6 million dollars' worth of cocaine during his career.
Tyler made the admission in an interview with Australia's edition of
"60 Minutes" for an episode which will air on
Channel 9 this Sunday, February 24.
Asked by
Liz Hayes about his habit that led to him spending about $20 million on cocaine,
Tyler corrected the reporter, saying, "Realistically, 5 or 6. But it doesn't matter. You also could say I snorted half of Peru, but it doesn't matter."
Tyler and
AEROSMITH guitarist
Joe Perry, who were once known as the "toxic twins," had a falling out over the singer's stint as a judge on
"American Idol" but their relationship is now said to be back on track after they started collaborating closely again when
Tyler exited the TV show.
"We can still be toxic. We fight toxic and we play toxic,"
Tyler said.
