American rock group Aerosmith has announced that it will not complete the tour it cut short last year due to an injury to frontman Steven Tyler. The reason is the permanent damage to the vocal cords of this seventy-six-year-old singer. The group announced this on its website on Friday pages, where she also thanked her fans for their many years of support.
“It has been an honor in our lives that our music has become a part of you. In every club, on every tour, in moments big and private, you’ve made us a place on the soundtracks of your lives,” said Aerosmith. “As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He worked tirelessly for months to get his voice back to where it was before the injury. We saw him struggle with it despite having the best medical team. Unfortunately, it is clear that a full recovery from his vocal cord injury is not possible,” they added.
Aerosmith’s Peace Out: The Farewell Tour began last September and was supposed to last until February next year. At that time, the band was scheduled to perform in a number of cities in the United States, as well as in Toronto and Montreal, Canada. But shortly after it started, Tyler announced that he had injured his vocal cords and that the rest of the concerts have been postponed for the time being. But now the group has canceled the other concerts of the tour.
In a statement, Aerosmith also thanked their team and called their fans “the best fans on planet earth.” “Play our music loud, now and always. Dream on. You made our dreams come true,” concluded the rockers who formed this band in 1970 in Boston.
Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million albums, received countless awards, including four Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their famous hits include Crazy, Livin’ On the Edge, Dream On, Janie’s Got a Gun or Cryin’ a Get a Grip. In their work, however, they cross the boundaries of the rock genre – for example, they were also awarded for a rap single.
