The Aerosmith frontman blames “the lack of time travel” and “the shuttle being mothballed” for the unavoidable scheduling conflict. <\/p>\n

The unfortunate and all-too-common scheduling conflict will prevent Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler from appearing at the ASCAP “I Create Music” Expo (the singer was announced as a keynote interview and honoree back in January) on April 18. Instead, the rocker has committed to take part in “the first naked chat room on Google+ Hangout,” he announced on April 5, adding, “Be there or be square, I don’t want to hear you don’t have anything to wear.”<\/p>\n

The online confab will take place on Monday, April 8, at 6:30 p.m. PST \/ 9:30 p.m. EST, during which Tyler will be interviewed by entertainment journalist Roger Friedman — no word yet on whether the Showbiz411 columnist is also planning to be in the buff.<\/p>\n

Tyler will answer select questions tweeted to @ASCAPEXPO and using the hashtag #AskSteven.<\/p>\n

The reason for the cancelation: Aerosmith’s Australian tour requires the band to arrive earlier. Said Tyler in a statement apologizing to Expo attendees: “Due to the lack of time travel, and the shuttle being mothballed, I can’t make it in time to be with you.”<\/p>\n

Tyler and bandmate Joe Perry were also due to appear at the organization’s Pop Music Awards on April 17 and receive the ASCAP Founders award.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, the performance rights organization announced that Katy Perry has joined the Expo lineup. She’ll be interviewed by ASCAP EVP of Membership, Randy Grimmett.<\/p>\n
