Aerosmith Announces Retirement from Touring
Aerosmith, one of the most iconic rock bands of all time, has announced their retirement from touring in a heartbreaking statement shared on their website and social media accounts. The band cited the tragic death of frontman Steven Tyler and his subsequent vocal cord injury as the reasons for this difficult decision.
Steven Tyler’s Vocal Cord Injury
Steven Tyler, the legendary lead singer of Aerosmith, suffered a serious vocal cord injury during a performance, leading to months of intensive treatment and rehabilitation. Despite the best efforts of his medical team, it became clear that Tyler would not be able to fully recover from his vocal damage, forcing the band to make the tough choice to retire from touring.
Rescheduled Farewell Tour
The band had previously announced their “Peace Out: Farewell Tour,” which was set to be their final tour. However, due to Tyler’s health issues, the tour has been rescheduled to begin in September 2024. Fans who had purchased tickets for the original tour dates will be automatically refunded, while those who bought tickets from third-party resale sites will need to contact the point of purchase for further details.
Despite the disappointment of having to cancel the tour, Aerosmith expressed their gratitude to their fans for their unwavering support throughout the years. The band thanked their dedicated team and all the talented individuals who made their historic run possible.
Ultimately, Aerosmith’s legacy as one of the greatest rock bands of all time will live on through their timeless music, which has become a defining soundtrack for generations of fans around the world.
