Steven Tyler fell flat on his face while showering in Paraguay, South America on Tuesday. He chatted about the incident with Matt Lauer, via telephone, on this morning’s Today Show.

While many are speculating that the Aerosmith frontman fell off the wagon, the rocker and American Idol judge was adamant that it was a case of food poisoning that caused him to pass out while taking a shower.

After discovering that Tyler was injured, his manager contacted the American Embassy to find the best hospital in the area. According to Tyler, “It was like one stop shopping. They stitched up my eye, did a little plastic surgery and fixed up my tooth all in one fell swoop.”

Ever the performer, Tyler appeared on stage Wednesday night in Buenos Aires, looking the worse for wear but upbeat and full of high energy.
