Steven Tyler’s daughter is exposing the real reason behind one of her dad’s most iconic onstage practices.

Mia Tyler shared that there was an ulterior motive for her rocker dad to attach scarves to his microphones when he performed.

“The story of why he has scarves on his microphone is because he liked to hide his pills and whatnot, so he could do them live onstage,” she said on Monday’s episode of the “Sibling Revelry” podcast hosted by Kate and Oliver Hudson.

“He would have little pockets sewn so he could be onstage and just take whatever it was,” she added.

The Aerosmith frontman has long been open about his struggles with drug addiction.

In 2022, Aerosmith released a statement that the band was canceling its Las Vegas residency dates because Steven Tyler was entering rehab.

“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years,” the band said at the time. “After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery.”

In Steven Tyler’s own memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” he wrote that he’d “been getting high since I was sixteen.”

“I was getting high all the time back then. It was part of my education,” he wrote in the book, published in 2011. The rocker also estimated that he’d spent around $20 million on the habit, a figure he later downplayed.

“Probably, realistically, 5 or 6 [million], easy,” the singer said on the Australian edition of “60 Minutes.” “But it doesn’t matter. You could also say I snorted half of Peru, but, you know, it’s what we did.”
