AEROSMITH - ROCKER PERRY RECOVERS FROM KNEE SURGERY

AEROSMITH rocker JOE PERRY is recovering in hospital after undergoing knee replacement surgery. The guitarist put the operation off for two years so he could fulfil the band's touring commitments, but the procedure went without a hitch. The surgery was performed last Tuesday morning (18Mar08) and Perry has since been moved to a private room, where he will continue to recuperate. The 57-year-old is expected to stay off his feet for much of 2008.
