Aerosmith is saying goodbye after 50 years.
The Boston-based band will have one final tour in the fall, starting in September and playing Beantown in Boston on New Year’s Eve and finished the touring in Montreal on January 24th.. The tour is called “Peace Out.”
But peace is not assured as all members will not be on the road. Drummer Joey Kramer is already out because of health issues and disagreements with the rest of the group.
The group’s famous leader, Steven Tyler, also has significant health issues that he’s been working on for about a year. Always troubled by substance abuse, Tyler has been recovering in Los Angeles after going to rehab. Tyler is also dealing with a lawsuit from a former lover, an underage girl who he had an affair with an aborted pregnancy in the early 1970s. (He actually wrote about it in his memoir, which doesn’t help.)
Nevertheless, Tyler is one of our great rock stars, and it would be sensational to see him and Joe Perry in action one more time. Aerosmith hasn’t recorded a a new album in over a decade. It would be swell if they could add to their enormous number of hits with one blow out collection of new songs.
