Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has sued bloggers for impersonating him on the internet.

Tyler claims that the bloggers, whose real names are not known, exposed “intimate details” about his life, including “hurtful” stories about his recently deceased mother.

The lawsuit also accuses them of impersonating his girlfriend in a series of posts on the website, Blogspot.

It's thought the blogger may also be responsible for similar posts made in 2007.

The blogs specified in the lawsuit are currently unavailable for public viewing due to “possible blogger terms of service violations."

As previously reported, Aerosmith are currently recording the follow-up to 2004's 'Honkin' On Bobo'.
