An Aerosmith concert in Paraguay was postponed after singer Steven Tyler fell in his hotel bathroom, hitting his face and breaking two teeth.

Garzia Group spokesman Marcelo Antunez called the accident "minor" and said the concert, originally scheduled for yesterday, would be held today.

Mr Antunez said Tyler was treated at a hospital near Asuncion for cuts and received two dental implants for the lost teeth.

He said the 63-year-old singer was "once again in the Bourbon hotel" recovering for the concert.

It is the first time Aerosmith has played in Paraguay and organisers expect more than 50,000 people will attend the concert.

The Paraguayan dentist who treated Tyler said the singer is "doing splendidly".

Dr Maria Bastos said Tyler was "friendly and humble" as he received two dental implants.

She told the Monumental radio station he "surprised me with his cheerfulness".

Officials from Garzia Group, which is organising the concert, said Tyler apparently became dizzy due to gastrointestinal problems and fell in his hotel bathroom.
