Legendary rock band Aerosmith have been forced to postpone a portion of their upcoming ‘Peace Out’ farewell tour after frontman, Steven Tyler, sustained a vocal cord injury. The band had kicked off the extensive run of North American dates in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 2, and continued to play gigs in Pittsburgh and Elmont.
The tour was set to start again today (September 12) in Toronto, but Aerosmith have had to push back the next six shows. “I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days,” Tyler said in a statement on social media yesterday (September 11). “I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”
The band has rearranged the tour dates, and all previously purchased tickets will be honoured for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those unable to attend; fans with questions regarding refunds are asked to contact their point of purchase. Aerosmith’s revised ‘Peace Out’ itinerary can be found on the band’s social media accounts.
In 2019, Aerosmith had to cancel some of the dates on their Las Vegas residency after Tyler checked himself into a drug rehabilitation facility. Fans are hoping for a speedy recovery for the frontman, and eagerly await the band’s return to the stage.
