The band began the series of North American shows in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 2, with more concerts in Pittsburgh and Elmont.
However, shows that were due to take place in Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, Toronto, Raleigh and Cleveland were forced to be rescheduled after a doctor ordered Tyler not to sing for 30 days. Now, Aerosmith has given fans an update on the singer’s status and the rest of the tour dates.
Aerosmith’s message after the cancellation of their tour
“Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought”, they said in an official statement. “His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx, which requires ongoing care.
“He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of the fracture, he is being told that patience is essential.”
They went on to confirm that all currently scheduled dates for the peace exit had been postponed until “sometime in 2024.” New dates will be announced “as soon as we know more.” The tour was due to restart on October 11 in Tampa, Florida, and run until February 29, 2024.
Tyler added: “I’m heartbroken not to be there with Aerosmith, my brothers and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking out with the best fans in the world. “I promise we’ll be back as soon as we can!”
Last year, Aerosmith canceled some of his Las Vegas residency dates after Tyler entered a drug rehabilitation center.
An emblem of North American rock and the creator of numerous hits, the band was formed in Boston in 1970. Its members are Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford. According to the specialized site Variety, Kramer will not be part of this tour to “focus all his attention on his family and his health.”
