'A father is always gonna be sexually attracted to his daughter...' A controversial remark made by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler about his daughter, actress Liv Tyler, is once again making rounds on social media. The statement, published in Gavin Edwards' 2006 book Is Tiny Dancer Really Elton's Little John?, has resurfaced as the 78-year-old singer faces an unresolved California civil lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a teenager in the 1970s.

Tyler denies wrongdoing in the case brought by Julia Misley, who says she was 16 when their relationship began in 1973. A judge narrowed her lawsuit in April 2026 but allowed allegations involving California to proceed.

Despite the pending lawsuit, Tyler has returned to performing, joining Aerosmith at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 29 October 2026. The concert marked the band's first full live performance since 2023, following a vocal injury that forced the group to retire from touring. His daughter Liv, 49, and actress Alicia Silverstone introduced the band before the performance.

Tyler's return to the stage comes as he continues to fight allegations of sexual abuse in court. At the Hollywood Bowl, the singer performed Aerosmith classics including 'Dream On', 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Walk This Way', with Dave Grohl joining the band on drums.The performance was part of a two-night concert event held on 29 October and 1 November 2026, even as Tyler's civil lawsuit remains unresolved.

I was similarly heartbroken about Against Me! when the lead singer admitted to domestic abuse. It was so messy and it was messy on both sides, but I couldn't listen anymore without thinking of the abuse.

I'm currently feeling a little weird about Rise Against because the lead singer liked Pink's anti Macklemore Instagram post. I know the other members have made some pro-Palestine comments, but it's just a little concerning. Then there's Linkin Park feeling very money hungry since Chester died, I just don't feel the passion in their music. Neither of those are as bad ad domestic abuse (depending on the deeper meaning behind liking that post) but it's still hard to listen to.

Oh damn, really? Thanks for letting us know. That is disappointing.

Linkin Park completely betrayed Chester by replacing him with a rape-apologist Scientology fuckwit.
