The devastating news that Steven Tyler, who continues to suffer voice injuries, is unable to heal has been made public. As a result, Aerosmith has decided to stop touring.
“As you are aware, Steven’s voice is an instrument that is unmatched,” the group said on X.
“He has been working nonstop for months to restore his voice to its pre-injury level. Even with the greatest medical team at his disposal, we’ve seen him struggle. Sadly, it is evident that he will not be able to fully recover from his vocal injury.”
The group went on, adding Brad Whitford, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer to the group, saying, “As a band of brothers, we have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision to retire from the touring stage.”
The popular rock group, which is renowned for the songs “Walk This Way” and “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” postponed dates on their final tour in 2023 after Steven disclosed that he required “ongoing care” for previously undetected vocal chord damage and a cracked larynx.
“It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith,” their statement, published across social media on August 2, continued.
“Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.”
“A final thank you to you – the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true,” they concluded.
