Permanent Vocation: Aerosmith's Steven Tyler says he's now an ordained minister
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler says he's an ordained minister: "80 bucks and I became a Father"

Steven Tyler has revealed that he’s now officially an ordained minister.
He broke the news in a recent video interview with TMZ where he was asked about his plans for Halloween and what he might dress up as to mark the occasion.
Tyler suggested either Mick Jagger or Don Novello’s fictional character Father Guido Sarducci before flashing a Universal Life Church Ministries card, and saying: “I’m now an ordained minister and I just married my son to a beautiful girl.”
Asked how he got ordained, Tyler replies: “I went online – 80 bucks and I became a Father. God knows I’ve been a mother for so long!
“Me and Mick Fleetwood are going to marry people.”

Tyler will have to put his minister duties aside next year, however, when Aerosmith will play 18 Deuces Are Wild shows in Las Vegas.
