Aerosmith Calls It Quits: Farewell Tour Axed Amid Tyler’s Vocal Woes
Aerosmith Bows Out
The iconic rock band Aerosmith has officially retired from touring. Their farewell tour, marred by delays and health issues, has come to an abrupt end due to lead singer Steven Tyler’s irreversible vocal injuries.
Vocal Cord Crisis
The tour, which kicked off with much fanfare, was derailed just three stops in when Tyler suffered severe vocal cord damage and a fractured larynx. Despite hopes for a recovery, the band has now confirmed that Tyler’s vocal injuries are permanent, making further performances impossible.
Final Curtain Call
Aerosmith was set to play in Salt Lake City with the Black Crowes on November 27. However, repeated postponements and now the definitive cancellation mark a somber end to the band’s touring legacy.
Legal Battles
The farewell tour was overshadowed by legal troubles. A woman filed a lawsuit against Tyler, accusing him of sexual assault and battery from decades ago. While Tyler has denied these allegations, the controversy grew when another woman claimed he assaulted her in 1975. Although a judge dismissed the latter case due to the statute of limitations, the legal battles cast a long shadow over the band’s final tour.
Rock Legacy
Aerosmith’s departure from the road closes a significant chapter in rock history. Known for their electrifying performances and classic hits like “Dream On,” “Sweet Emotion,” and “Walk This Way,” the band’s influence on rock music is indelible. Read the band’s statement via Instagram below:
