They played their upcoming album&#8217;s first single, &#8216; Legendary Child. &#8216;\u00a0As Steven Tyler leaves the show behind, it is feared that American Idol will continue to lose viewers as it has done since Simon Cowell&#8217;s departure from the show two years ago, when he left to launch The X Factor US.<\/p>\n<p>FOX\u2019s President of Alternative Entertainment Mike Darnell praised Tyler for his 2 years on the music show American Idol. He said : &#8216;\u00a0He\u2019s been a terrific judge, a true friend and great mentor to everyone involved with the show, and we know he\u2019ll continue to be a huge inspiration to&#8221;Idol&#8221; hopefuls for years to come. We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll legend, he would go back to the music.\u00a0We all wish him all the best and would love to have him back on the show anytime. &#8216;<\/p>\n<h3>Rock &amp; Roll Aerosmith Legend Steven Tyler is quitting American Idol judgement to focus on his music band<\/h3>\n<p>Steven Tyler brought a rock n&#8217; roll edge to the largely pop-themed series.
