The band was set to begin a six-month farewell tour through the United States and Canada on Sept 20.
NEW YORK – Aerosmith, the venerated American hard rock band whose hit records such as Dream On have reverberated across the airwaves and in sweaty sold-out venues around the world for more than half a century, announced on Aug 2 that they were retiring from the tour stage, citing a permanent vocal injury to its star frontman, Steven Tyler.
“He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury,” the band said in a statement on their website. “We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. 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 tour had been postponed to later in 2024 after Tyler, 76, hurt his vocal cords during the band’s Sept 9, 2023, show at UBS Arena on Long Island. The band had said then that they decided to postpone the tour until 2024 because the injury turned out to be more serious than initially thought and involved a fractured larynx in addition to the vocal cord damage.
Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds, the band said. People who bought tickets via third-party sites were asked to contact those vendors. NYTIMESPlease verify your e-mail to read this subscriber-only article in full
