Steven Tyler "Doing Splendidly" After Breaking 2 Teeth In Paraguay

ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — The Paraguayan dentist who treated Steven Tyler says the Aerosmith singer is "doing splendidly."

Dr. Maria Bastos also says Tyler was "friendly and humble" as he received two dental implants. She told the Monumental radio station on Wednesday that Tyler "surprised me with his cheerfulness."

Officials of the Garzia Group that is organizing the concert say the 63-year-old singer apparently became dizzy due to gastrointestinal problems and fell in his hotel bathroom.

He suffered cuts and broke two teeth, forcing a one-day delay in a concert in the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion. It's now scheduled for Wednesday night.
