Aerosmith was forced to postpone a show in Paraguay on Tuesday night after Steven Tyler had a "small accident," according to a Reuters report. Tyler received stitches and had emergency dental work done at the La Costa medical center in Paraguay's capital after he suffered cuts to his face and lost two of his teeth when he fell in his hotel bathroom. According to a hospital statement, he was in good condition when discharged. Tuesday's concert will now take place on Wednesday night instead. "Mr. Tyler had a small accident that prevents him from staging the concert tonight," Marcelo Antunez, a spokesman for the local concert organizers, told reporters. "He is fine, he's in his hotel but he's not able to do the concert."

Surviving Doors members Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore have recorded a new song with DJ/producer Skrillex as part of a new documentary film, RE:GENERATION, that depicts five popular producers working with artists from five separate genres. The project, co-produced by the Grammys and directed by Amir Bar Lev, also brought in DJ Premier to produce a classical track with Nas and the Berklee School of Music Orchestra; Pretty Lights, who did a country song with Leann Rimes and Ralph Stanley; the Crystal Method, who recorded an R&B tune with Martha Reeves; and Mark Ronson, who teamed with Erykah Badu, members of the Dap Kings and Trombone Shorty for a Jazz cut. The film should premiere early in 2012 and will be part of Grammy Week next year. "I like to say this is the first new Doors track of the 21st century," Manzarek told Rolling Stone. As for working with Skrillex, he said they had an immediate connection. "He plays his beat, all he had to do was play the one thing. I listened to it and I said, 'Holy shit, that’s strong,'" Manzarek added. "Basically, it’s a variation on 'Milestones,' by Miles Davis, and if I do say so myself, sounds f***ing great, hot as hell."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, the Pink Floyd member said, "There are quite a few markets we didn't cover last time, like Austin. But we want to base the tour around Saturday nights in baseball stadiums.

The Wall tour has only been an indoor show, but Waters says his team is currently running tests to see how it will work out in baseball parks including Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium. Waters also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday as a guest, and performed "In The Flesh" backed by the Foo Fighters as part of Fallon's Pink Floyd Week.
