Aerosmith Postpones Farewell Tour to 2024 as Steven Tyler Fractures Larynx in Addition to Vocal Cord Injury

The rock band shared on Friday that all of their remaining 2023 Peace Out tour dates will be rescheduled to 2024

Aerosmith is pausing their farewell tour after it was found that Steven Tyler had sustained an additional injury.

On Friday, the rock legends shared a statement on Instagram announcing that the remaining 2023 concerts on their farewell tour will be postponed to 2024, citing frontman Tyler's recovery from a newly discovered fractured larynx. The news comes two weeks after the band announced that the frontman “sustained vocal cord damage” and that they would need to reschedule six of their September concerts.

The group featuring the current lineup of original members Brad Whitford, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton and Tyler, as well as new drummer John Douglas, opened up about the singer’s condition in a post dedicated to their fans.

“Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought,” the “Dream On” band wrote. “His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care.”

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers continued, “He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of a fracture, he is being told patience is essential.”

Tyler himself also shared how “heartbroken” he is at the change of plans for the group and their openers, The Black Crowes. The vocalist added, “I am heartbroken to not be out there with Aerosmith, my brothers and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking with the best fans in the world. I promise we will be back as soon as we can!”

The group explained that all shows of their farewell tour, known as Peace Out, will be postponed for sometime in 2024, with new dates announced in the near future. Refunds will be available for those no longer able to attend.

In mid-September, the “Sweet Emotion” band revealed that Tyler received doctor’s orders “not to sing for the next 30 days,” leading them to postpone a handful of their September shows in Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Raleigh, North Carolina and Cleveland to 2024.

“I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding,” Tyler shared in a statement at the time. “We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”

The Grammy winners were only three shows into their tour when they rescheduled their September dates. Peace Out opened in Philadelphia on Sept. 2 at Wells Fargo Center and the group played a hit-filled setlist including favorites like  “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” “Sweet Emotion” and “Walk This Way,” among others.

Original members Hamilton, 69, Perry, 73, Whitford, 71, and Tyler are scheduled to carry out the remainder of the Peace Out tour, while original drummer Joey Kramer has been replaced by Douglas, 77. Kramer, 73, took a “temporary leave of absence” from the band in March 2022, sitting out the band’s Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency. His wife, Linda, died at age 55 in June 2022.

The band put the Las Vegas residency on hold for a period starting in May 2022 when Tyler entered a treatment program for relapse after undergoing foot surgery to prepare for the band’s return to the stage.

“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years,” the band shared in a statement at the time. “After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery.”

Aerosmith continued their Vegas shows in September 2022, but Tyler’s health scuttled their plans to play in December.

"On the advice of my doctor, I'm taking more time to rest," Tyler said in a December statement. "There is nowhere we'd rather be than on stage surrounded by the greatest fans in the world."
