JOE PERRY of Aerosmith

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.
