Steven Tyler will star in a horror film titled Happy Birthday.

The Aerosmith frontman will play ‘The Mexican Cowboy,’ a tour guide who takes main character Brady Baxter and his best friend Tommy Quinn on a dark, drug-fuelled journey in Mexico.

The film synopsis reads: “When two friends embark on a journey to Mexicali for a Birthday celebration, they soon realise their psychedelic shenanigans have taken a turn for the worse.”

Happy Birthday will be released on September 9.

Tyler recently admitted he’s concerned about Aerosmith bandmate Joe Perry. He was admitted to hospital after he fell ill following his performance in New York with The Hollywood Vampires last weekend.

Aerosmith will tour South America this autumn.
