Less than a year after he and the band declared their retirement, Steven Tyler made a comeback to the stage with Aerosmith over the weekend.
In a long statement, the band stated that it was taking a break from touring after Tyler broke his larynx at a performance on September 9, 2023.
According to the Instagram post at that time, Aerosmith was born out of a spark of inspiration in 1970. That spark ignited and has continued blazing for more than 50 years because of you, our Blue Army. We built rock and roll history because of all of you, some of you have been with us from the start. Having our music become a part of yours has been the greatest honor of our life. You have included us in the music of your lives in every club, on every enormous tour, and at both private and opulent times.
The message went on to say, “We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing.” Steven’s voice is a unique instrument, as you are aware. He has been working nonstop for months to restore his voice to its pre-injury state. Despite having the greatest medical team by his side, we have witnessed him struggle. Unfortunately, it is evident that he will never fully recover from his vocal lesion. Our band of brothers has decided to retire from touring, which is a painful and challenging but essential decision.
The band then thanked all of its supporters once more.
The message said, “We are incredibly thankful to everyone who was excited to travel with us one final time.” We are thankful to our amazing staff, our knowledgeable crew, and the thousands of gifted individuals who have helped us achieve these record runs. One last thank you to all of the world’s greatest fans. Now and always, turn up the volume on our music. Keep dreaming. Our dreams have come true because of you.
The iconic rock group reunited for the sixth annual Jam for Jamie Grammy Awards Viewing Party just five months after that statement.According to Rolling Stone, the event is connected to vocalist Steven Tyler’s Janie’s foundation, which aims to help traumatized girls and young women find healing and hope.
According to the website, funds were also raised for the Widows, Orphans, and Disables Firefighter’s Fund and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
According to reports, Tyler sang a set of six songs. Is there going to be more?Although it’s unknown, his bandmate Tom Hamilton expressed hope in January that Aerosmith might be able to perform more one-off gigs in the future, according to Billboard.com.
Hamilton stated that although Steven’s recovery is proceeding at its own speed, it is doing incredibly well. The last thing I want to do is attempt to encourage Steven to go in that route, but it’s unlikely that Aerosmith will do anything in the future.
He would be the one to do whatever for us in the future.
