Steven Tyler achieved a miraculous milestone on Sunday -- he turned 75.
Born Steven Victor Tallarico on March 26th, 1948 in New York City, he spent his early years in The Bronx and Yonkers, and his summers in New Hampshire, where he met Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry.
Aerosmith have released 15 studio albums, and Tyler one -- 2016's country effort, We're All Somebody from Somewhere.
Along with Aerosmith he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and he and Perry inducted Led Zeppelin in 1995, and Tyler returned to do the same for AC/DC in 2003.
Tyler has had his ups and downs with drug addiction, having last gone into rehab last year. Along with Joe Perry, they were known as the "Toxic Twins."
He had vocal cord surgery in 2006 after sustaining a ruptured blood vessel. The surgery was later the subject of an episode of the National Geographic Channel series Incredible Human Machine.
Tyler was a judge on American Idol for two seasons, in 2011 and 2012, which almost broke up Aerosmith.
He's been married twice and has four children, including actress Liv Tyler.
Tyler spends much of the year in Hawaii, where in 2013 the Steven Tyler Act was introduced into the state legislature. The bill would give public figures the right to sue paparazzi for taking unwanted photographs. While it cleared the Senate's judiciary committee, the bill was never brought for a full vote by the Senate.
In 2015, he launched Janie's Fund, named after the Aerosmith song "Janie's Got a Gun," to assist girls who have endured neglect and abuse.
Tyler had some undisclosed health issues late last year, resulting in Aerosmith canceling their Deuces are Wild Las Vegas residency.
