It’s the end of an era for the iconic rock band responsible for hits like “Dream On,” “Love in an Elevator” and “Janie’s Got a Gun.”

In an announcement on their official Instagram as well as X social media accounts yesterday, the band Aerosmith informed fans and followers they are making the “heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision – as a band of brothers – to retire from the touring stage.”

The statement explained frontman Steven Tyler, whose voice is an instrument like no other, is still dealing with the aftermath of a vocal cord injury he suffered last year.

According to the statement, he has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury.

It says they have seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side.

The statement reads, sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible.

Late last September, the band shared Tyler, now 76, had “fractured his larynx,” causing the band to postpone the rest of the year’s dates for their “Peace Out” farewell tour, which had originally been announced in May 2023.

This April, they had announced rescheduled tour dates, which were to have begun in mid-September and run through the end of February 2025.

The band has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
