Aerosmith is taking its final bow.
The iconic rock group, known for hits like "Dream On" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" shared that due to a vocal chord injury lead singer Steven Tyler suffered in September 2023, they have made the decision to retire from touring.
"We've always wanted to blow your mind when performing," the band wrote on Instagram Aug. 2. "As you know, Steven's voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury."
The group—including members Tom Hamilton, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson—shared that "despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible."
"We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision," they continued, "as a band of brothers—to retire from the touring stage."
The Grammy Award winning group thanked their "Blue Army" for supporting them over the years, adding, "Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock 'n' roll history."
"A final thank you to you—the best fans on planet Earth," they wrote in conclusion. "Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You've made our dreams come true."
News of Aerosmith's retirement comes less than a year after they had to postpone their Peace Out farewell tour after 76-year-old Steven injured his vocal cords during a performance.
"Unfortunately, Steven's vocal injury is more serious than initially thought," they'd shared in September. "His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care."
While Steven 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!"
In light of the cancelled tour, the band—which first started performing together in 1970—assured fans that those who had previously purchased tickets would have those refunded.
