Tonight’s mystery artist said that is was thanks to Jimi and Janis that he survived and that doctors are the new pushers today.  Can you guess who had this revelation??

In a recent People Magazine interview after the death of Prince  it was Steven Tyler who shared these revelations. Steven, who has battled his own addiction demons over the years, now describes himself as living sober and happy.  Amidst the rumors circulating that Prince may have overdosed on prescription drugs he recalled that he felt in his time what brought him back from the brink of destruction were the deaths of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. He said, "they all died so I could live,"  realizing that he was headed down the same path as his idols. He also added, "Doctors are the new pushers. All of America isn't strung out on street drugs, they're strung out on prescribed drugs. "That's the only way to stop me from crying is to say, ok maybe Prince died so others could live."
