While hosting his 5th annual Jam for Janie Grammys viewing party — which benefits Janie's Fund, the non-profit he created to help girls who have experienced abuse and neglect — the 75-year-old Aerosmith lead explained how he's recovering after he fractured his larynx in 2023. "My throat's been better, but it is on the mend," he told attendees of the party, held at the Hollywood Palladium. "And out of all things, I've decided to take the advice not from my doctors, but from the girls at Janie's house." He went on to explain some of the benefactors wrote him letters to make him feel better, sharing some of his favorites with the crowd. "We've got your back," one girl told him. Another wrote a more lengthy note. "I really hope, as you recover and you've made lots of accomplishments and you can make many more and keep on pushing even as things get rough," the letter read. "You have a lot of potential and I want you to keep that potential." Steven Tyler at his 2016 Janie's Fund Benefit collaboration with Youth Villages.

His daughter, Mia Tyler, tells PEOPLE her dad is "much better" — although she confirmed he is not quite following doctor's orders. "He's not supposed to be talking sometimes, so I have to literally yell at him and be like, 'You can't be on the phone with me right now, lets just text,' " she says, adding that he talks to his phone instead of typing. "You can't shut him up — he can't close that mouth," she teases, adding he is "very healthy."
