Fans of Aerosmith were left disappointed this week as the band was forced to cancel six tour dates for their farewell tour, “Peace Out: The Farewell Tour”. Lead singer Steven Tyler took to Instagram to share the unfortunate news about his health. Doctors have advised him to refrain from singing for the next 30 days due to serious damage to his vocal cords. As a result, shows in Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Raleigh, and Washington D.C. have all been postponed until early 2024.
In an official statement, Aerosmith expressed their disappointment over the postponed shows. Steven Tyler shared his heartbreak about the situation and explained the vocal cord damage he sustained during a recent performance, which led to bleeding.
However, despite these setbacks, the band is committed to giving their fans the performance they deserve. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates, and refunds will be available for those unable to attend. Fans with any questions about refunds are advised to contact their point of purchase.
Aerosmith’s “Peace Out: The Farewell Tour” was announced on May 1st and was originally scheduled to include 40 dates from September 2nd to January 26th. However, due to the recent postponements, the tour will now conclude at a later date. As per the latest reports, Aerosmith will resume their tour on Monday, October 11th.
The band’s decision to embark on a farewell tour is truly commendable, especially considering the ages of its members. Steven Tyler celebrated his 75th birthday in March, and the toll of a 40-show tour on his body is unimaginable. Nevertheless, his determination to provide his fans with an unforgettable experience is admirable, showcasing the selfless character he has demonstrated in the past.
In 2019, Steven Tyler played an integral role in establishing “Janie’s House,” a sanctuary 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 1989 hit song, “Janie’s Got a Gun.” This safe space aims to provide these women with a place to heal and find refuge in times of need.
As fans, let’s hope for a swift recovery for Steven Tyler so that he can get back on his feet and continue doing what he does best – captivating audiences with his timeless music and incredible performances!
