In a poignant conclusion to an illustrious five-decade career, legendary rock band Aerosmith has announced its retirement from touring due to ongoing vocal issues for lead singer Steven Tyler. The Boston-based group, known for its electrifying performances and iconic hits, made the announcement on Friday, bringing an unexpected end to their planned farewell tour, which was set to kick off in September with a highly anticipated show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena on January 4.
The band’s troubles began last fall when Tyler, now 76, suffered a fractured larynx just three shows into Aerosmith’s “Peace Out” tour. The injury forced the band to postpone the remainder of the tour as Tyler sought treatment and recovery. Despite a revised tour schedule announced months later, Aerosmith revealed on Friday that Tyler’s vocal challenges had persisted, ultimately making it impossible for him to regain his former vocal strength.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Aerosmith expressed their sorrow over the situation: “We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side,” the band wrote. “Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision — as a band of brothers — to retire from the touring stage.”
The decision to end their touring career marks the end of an era for Aerosmith, which was formed in 1970 by Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Ray Tabano, bassist Tom Hamilton, and drummer Joey Kramer. The band went on to become one of the most successful and enduring acts in rock history, with countless hits and sold-out shows around the world.
