In a bittersweet announcement shared on social media on Friday, iconic rock band Aerosmith revealed that they are retiring from touring. The decision comes as lead singer Steven Tyler continues to grapple with a vocal cord injury that has hindered his ability to perform at his full potential.

Known for their electrifying live performances, Aerosmith expressed their commitment to providing unparalleled musical experiences for their fans. They acknowledged Tyler's unique vocal talent, describing it as an instrument like no other. Despite months of intensive efforts and the support of a top-notch medical team, it has become evident that a complete recovery from the vocal injury is not possible.

Last year, Aerosmith was forced to postpone their highly-anticipated 2023 Peace Out: The Farewell Tour upon discovering the severity of Tyler's vocal cord injury, which proved to be more serious than initially anticipated. The band members, recognizing the challenges faced by their frontman, came to a heartbreaking and difficult yet necessary decision to retire from touring as a united band of brothers.

The statement released by Aerosmith not only acknowledged their illustrious history but also expressed profound gratitude towards their dedicated fans. Reflecting on their origins, the band recognized the pivotal role played by their loyal supporters in their meteoric rise to rock 'n' roll greatness. From the early days in 1970 when the initial spark of inspiration ignited, Aerosmith's music has resonated with generations of fans, and their impact on the genre is undeniable.

To their devoted Blue Army and long-standing fans, Aerosmith conveyed their appreciation for the unwavering support throughout the years. The statement emphasized the honored position their music holds in the lives of their fans, transcending venues both big and small. The band members expressed their gratitude towards their dedicated crew, remarkable team, and the countless talented individuals who have contributed to their landmark tours.

Finally, Aerosmith extended a final heartfelt thank you to their dedicated fanbase, considering them the "best fans on planet Earth." They encouraged fans to continue playing their music loudly, emphasizing its timeless and enduring nature. The band signed off with the words "Dream On," acknowledging the immense impact their music has had on their own dreams and expressing gratitude for having those dreams fulfilled by their fans.

Refunds will be provided to those who have purchased tickets for the postponed tour. As Aerosmith embarks on the next chapter of their illustrious career, their legacy as rock pioneers and trailblazers in the industry will forever remain embedded in the hearts of fans worldwide.
