Aerosmith front man and American Idol host Steve Tyler has a new autobiography coming out and he’s not afraid to tip a few skeletons out of his closet to drum up publicity for the forthcoming tell all tome. First up, he revealed that he’d blown $20 million on drugs over his career, and now he’s revealed that he had played hide the sausage when he was younger, but soon decided that sex with other men wasn’t for him. “Gay sex just doesn’t do it for me. I tried it one time when I was younger, but I just didn’t dig it,” he has revealed.

He’s also freely admitted further details of his massive cocaine habit, which ensured that “For the whole of the ’70s we were all nicely f**ked up and deep-fried. ” He’s also discussed the band’s preferred method of snorting the ‘ol Colombian marching powder backstage. “One of the things we always put in our riders was that the promoter had to provide in the dressing room a full-length, 6-foot-long mirror. I would take the local promoter’s rep into the dressing room and he’d say, “Well, there’s the 6-foot mirror you requested, Steven.” And I’d say, “I can see the mirror all right, but where the f**k’s the 3-foot razor blade?”
