In a dramatic finale for one of rock music's mainstays, Aerosmith has ended its five-decade touring career amid lingering vocal issues for front man Steven Tyler.
The Boston rock band announced Friday it will no longer perform live, canceling a farewell tour that was set to start in September with a Jan. 4 stop at Detroit's Little Caesars Arena.
The troubles started last fall: Tyler, now 76, suffered a fractured larynx three shows into the group's Peace Out Tour, forcing postponement of the goodbye run. A rebooted tour itinerary, including the LCA show, was announced several months later.
Bummer. Sucks getting old, chapter 1 million+. Not my favorite band by any means, but they certainly left a notable mark on rock music. First band this small town boy ever saw in concert (other than the openers, Kansas), back on their Get Your Wings tour.
