Aerosmith Stops Touring Due to Steven Tyler's Injury

In a poignant announcement on their social media platforms, iconic rock band Aerosmith has declared their retirement from touring, marking the end of an era for the group known for hits like “Dream On” and “Janie’s Got a Gun.” The decision, described as “heartbreaking and difficult,” comes as frontman Steven Tyler continues to grapple with the repercussions of a vocal cord injury sustained last year. The band emphasized that despite Tyler's relentless efforts to recover, a full return to form is no longer feasible. Tyler, 76, suffered a fractured larynx in September 2022, which led to the postponement of the remainder of their “Peace Out” farewell tour. Initially announced in May 2023, the tour was set to resume with rescheduled dates starting in mid-September and extending through February 2025. However, the band’s recent statement reflects a somber acknowledgment of Tyler's ongoing struggles, despite having access to top medical care. Aerosmith expressed deep gratitude to their fans, stating it has been an honor to have their music intertwined with the lives of listeners. The band, formed in 1970, has left an indelible mark on the music industry, winning four Grammy Awards and earning induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. As they step away from the stage, Aerosmith leaves behind a legacy that has resonated with generations of music lovers.
