This is rad!

Steven Tyler plans on doing more than just judging during the American Idol season finale on May 23. The legendary frontman and the rest of Aerosmith are performing their newest single!

It's a little surprising too because Tyler's decision to join the hit reality show caused some serious tension within the rock band. In a Rolling Stone interview from 2010, guitarist Joe Perry said: realized the band can reach an entirely new generation of fans.

This kinda makes the season finale one that can not be missed! Will U be watching?
