“To everybody in South America,” Tyler wrote. “I’m very sorry and feel like I’ve let you down,” he admitted, explaining that he had to fly back to the U.S. on doctor’s orders.
“Please not to worry,” he continued. “I am not in life threatening condition, but I need to deal with this right away, and get some rest and medical care immediately in order to sustain and maintain my future performances….I promise I’ll be back.”
