Steven Tyler removed from ads for Power of Love Gala in Las Vegas after sexual ... trends now
Steven Tyler's name has been removed from an upcoming gala in which he was set to be honored following a decades-old sexual assault allegation levied against the rocker.
The 74-year-old Aerosmith singer was originally listed as the celebrity honoree for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Power of Love Gala, but links to the original announcement of the honor have disappeared, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Tyler's managers and the gala organizers for comment.
Last month, Tyler was sued by Julia Holcomb, who claims that he sexually abused her, plied her with drugs and alcohol and even pressured her into getting an abortion, beginning when she was only 16 and he was 25.

The Review Journal notes that Tyler's name is absent from the Keep Memory Alive website's link to the gala, which is scheduled for February 18 and will be held at the MGM Grand Garden.
He was announced back in September as the most high-profile celebrity honoree at the event, while the philanthropist John Paul DeJoria, who co-founded the hair-care company John Paul Mitchell Systems, would be joining him.
DeJoria's name is still included on promotional materials, but the connection to Tyler is now absent.
Despite Tyler's disappearance from the marketing materials, gala organizers have not announced that he has been dropped from the event.

The Power of Love Gala helps to raise funds to combat Alzheimer's disease and to help those afflicted with the brain disease and their families.
Aerosmith recently canceled the final six shows of its Deuces Are Wild residency at Dolby Live in Las Vegas due to Tyler's ill health, though the nature of his health issues has not been revealed.
The frontman was swept up in controversy in recent days after a woman named Julia Holcomb filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles in the final days of a California law that temporarily lifts the statute of limitations for sexual assault claims under a 'look-back' window, which is now closed.
The suit, first reported by Rolling Stone, does not name Tyler, identifying him as 'Defendant Doe,' but it quotes directly from Tyler's 2011 memoir describing the relationship.

Holcomb has previously spoken publicly about her alleged relationship with the rock star.
In the lawsuit, she accuses the music legend of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, alleging that he plied her with drugs after gaining guardianship from her mother and pressured her into an abortion.
