It is with deep sadness that we must inform you that Aerosmith has been forced to cancel six of their final tour dates for Peace Out: The Farewell Tour. Recently, lead singer Steven Tyler shared a health update on Instagram that confirmed our worst fears.
Steven Tyler has suffered severe damage to his vocal cords, and doctors have advised him to refrain from singing for the next 30 days. As a result, several shows, including the Toronto event on September 12th, the Chicago show on September 15th, the Detroit show on September 18th, the Raleigh show on September 21st, and the Washington D.C. show on September 27th, have been postponed until early 2024.
In a heartfelt statement to their loyal fans, Aerosmith expressed their disappointment about the situation. Steven Tyler himself shared his own heartbreak and explained the vocal cord damage he sustained during a recent performance, which led to subsequent bleeding.
But fear not! The band wants to assure their fans that they are determined to give them the performance they truly deserve. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates, and refunds will be available for those unable to attend. If you have any questions regarding refunds, please reach out to your point of purchase.
Aerosmith’s Peace Out: The Farewell Tour was announced on May 1st, with 40 dates scheduled between September 2nd and January 26th. Unfortunately, due to the recent postponements, the tour will now end at a later date. According to the latest reports, Aerosmith plans to resume their tour on Monday, October 11th.
Embarking on a farewell tour is an extraordinary feat, especially considering the band members’ age. Steven Tyler turned 75 years old in March, and the toll a 40-show tour takes on his body is unimaginable. However, his determination to provide fans with an unforgettable experience is truly admirable, showcasing the selflessness he has demonstrated throughout his career.
In addition to his musical talents, Steven Tyler has a heart of gold. In 2019, he played a significant role in establishing “Janie’s House,” a home for abused and neglected girls. He generously donated $500,000 to renovate the 82-acre building located just outside of Memphis. The name “Janie’s House” was inspired by Aerosmith’s hit song from 1989, “Janie’s Got a Gun.” This safe space aims to provide young women with a place to heal and find refuge in times of need.
As fans, let us join together in hoping for a swift recovery for Steven Tyler. We eagerly await the day when he can get back on his feet and continue doing what he does best – mesmerizing audiences with his timeless music and incredible performances!
