The reason is an irreparable vocal cord injury suffered by singer Steven Tyler (76). "We have made a heartbreaking and difficult but necessary decision - as a band of brothers - to withdraw from the touring stage."
The band, founded in Boston in 1970, had already started their farewell tour in North America last year, but then interrupted it due to Tyler's vocal cord injury. The singer suffered the injury during a show. Since then, he has been working on getting his voice back to where it was before his injury, the band added.
"We always wanted to blow you away when we perform. As you know, Steven's voice is an instrument like no other." However, it is now clear that a full recovery is not possible. "We've seen him struggle, even though he had the best medical team on his side."
Aerosmith enjoyed worldwide success in the 80s and 90s with songs such as "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing", "Crazy", "Livin' On The Edge", "Amazing" and "Janie's Got A Gun". "We are indescribably grateful to everyone who wanted to go on tour with us one last time," the band continued. "One last thank you to you - the best fans on planet earth. Play our music loud, now and forever."
The band's announcement marks the end of a piece of music history. But not quite - Aerosmith is not disbanding, the "New York Times" quoted a manager of the band. They are simply saying goodbye to the tour stage.
Fans who have already bought tickets are to have their money refunded. As part of the "Peace Out" farewell tour, the band had planned several stadium appearances in the USA and Canada between September and February, according to the New York Times.
