Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has revealed that he is suffering from a potentially deadly disease.
The singer has been battling against the viral blood infection Hepatitis C in secrecy for some years and has only just made it public now.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, he admitted: �I�ve had Hepatitis C for a long time. I�ve been pretty quiet about this.
�The band took a break about three years ago� My doctor said now is the time, and it�s 11 months of chemotherapy, so I went on that and it about killed me.
�I would run upstairs at night to put the kids asleep, and wake up at 3 in the morning you know, with a nosebleed from the interferon. It�s a shot and pills and all that.�
Tyler is now on a course of powerful injections to help fight the disease, although he claims he isn�t suffering from any symptoms at the moment.
He�s not the first member of Aerosmith to fight a deadly illness. Bassist Tom Hamilton is still recovering from treatment for throat cancer.
