- Peace Out Tour Commences After 50 Years
- Steven Tyler’s Vocal Cord Injury Halts Tour
- Aerosmith’s Epic Farewell Journey Continues
Peace Out, the band’s concluding tour, was announced in May, more than 50 years after the band’s formation. The performances began at the beginning of September, but Steven Tyler’s nasty injury caused a setback.
Steven Tyler injured his vocal cords during a concert, forcing Aerosmith to postpone several dates on their farewell tour less than a week after it began.
The rock veterans began the Peace Out tour in Philadelphia on 2 September and were performing in New York on Saturday night when Tyler, 75, sustained injury to his voice.
“I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next 30 days,” the singer wrote on Aerosmith’s Instagram page to three million followers.
“I suffered vocal cord damage and subsequent hemorrhaging during Saturday’s performance. We’ll need to reschedule a few performances so that we can give you the performance you deserve.”
Aerosmith, which was formed in Boston in 1970, is well-known for tracks such as Dream On, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Cryin’, Crazy, and I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing.
Tyler is well known for his wide range and has been labeled the “Demon of Screamin” for his vocal theatrics.
Aerosmith announced their final tour in May, noting, “After 50 years, 10 global tours, and over 100 million fans… It’s time for one final attempt!
This must-see farewell tour will give fans one more chance to see one of the most influential American rock bands. Every night will celebrate Aerosmith’s 50th anniversary as America’s top rock band, with groundbreaking hits.
It is not farewell, but PEACE OUT! Prepare for the greatest performance of our lives and proceed forward.
The 40-date tour was scheduled to include a New Year’s Eve performance in the band’s birthplace of Boston. With the final concert originally scheduled for January 26, 2024, in Montreal, Canada.
Between January 29 and February 29, 2024, new performances will be held in Detroit, Chicago, Washington, DC, Toronto, Canada, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Cleveland, Ohio.
