You heard a noise that sounded like a bad bearing and the brake drum appears bent? I would check the bearing. If the bearing is loose (from wear or improper adjustment) the drum (and the attached wheel) would tilt in at the top and out at the bottom which would have your tire running down the road at a bias - hence the wear?
