BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN: When we last heard from Steven Tyler, he was estranged from Aerosmith and heading to rehab, putting his future with the band in doubt. But yesterday, Aerosmith announced that it would do a European tour—and there was Tyler, mugging in a video posted on aerosmith.com. “I just auditioned and I got the gig,” he quipped. “We’re coming your way and rocking your world.”… There was also some news on radiohead.com, as Thom Yorke announced that his group with Flea and producer Nigel Godrich is no longer Thom Yorke?????? but Atoms for Peace, after a track on his 2006 solo album The Eraser. “Hope you like the name,” Yorke wrote. “It seemed bleedin’ obvious.” They’ll start a mini-tour at N.Y.’s Roseland Ballroom April 5 and 6 en route to Coachella at the end of the month.
