FOX revealed yesterday Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler is exiting American Idol where he served as one of the judges for seasons 10 and 11. Tyler is leaving the competition show to concentrate more on his music as his band Aerosmith will release a new album on November 6. “It’s been a tremendous honor to have Steven – one of the most prolific artists in the world – on AMERICAN IDOL for the past two seasons,” said Mike Darnell, President/Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “He’s been a terrific judge, a true friend and great mentor to everyone involved with the show, and we know he’ll continue to be a huge inspiration to IDOL hopefuls for years to come. We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock ‘n’ roll legend, he would go back to the music. We all wish him all the best and would love to have him back on the show anytime.” American Idol is produced by 19 Entertainment, a division of CKX, Inc. and FremantleMedia North America, Inc.
