Los Angeles -- Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has confirmed the band's lead singer Steven Tyler will be a judge on TV's "American Idol" next season, the Boston Globe said.
"The ink is dry on that,'' Hamilton told The (Newark. N.J.) Star-Ledger.
"Steven is someone who absolutely lives to be in front of an audience, and the people closest to him know how witty and entertaining he can be. ... I hope it doesn't hurt the new momentum we've built up on this tour, because that's been so important for us as a band."
The Globe said neither Fox, which airs the show, nor Tyler would comment on Hamilton's remarks.
The 40-year-old rock band's guitarist and co-founder, Joe Perry, recently expressed his displeasure regarding rumors Tyler is headed to "Idol."

New York -- Run-DMC and the late Jam Master Jay's street cred may take a hit, but their legacy gets a boost with the renaming of a New York street corner after the group.
Officials announced Tuesday the New York City Council voted to name the corner of 205th Street and Hollis Avenue in Queens "Run-DMC JMJ Way," WPIX-TV, New York, reports.
The hip-hop group, which is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disbanded after Jam Master Jay, real name Jason Mizell, was gunned down at a recording studio in Queens in 2002. No one has ever been charged in the 37-year-old rapper's death.
