Fans will now have to wait until 2024 for Aerosmith’s Peace Out: The Farewell Tour.
The rock band announced on Friday that the remainder of the North American leg of the tour has been canceled until next year, due to frontman Steven Tyler still recovering from his vocal cord trauma.
The group shared the news on their Facebook page, writing, “To our fans: Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought.”
“His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care,” the statement continued.
The memo went on, “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.”
“As a result, all the currently scheduled Peace Out shows must be postponed to sometime in 2024, with new dates to be announced as soon as we know more,” the news concluded.
Tyler, 75, even penned an emotional note to his fans at the end of the post, writing: “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.”
Previously bought tickets for the show will still be valid for rescheduled dates that arise in the future.
Other fans who are unable to attend the rescheduled tour dates will be able to receive a refund.
Aerosmith launched in the tour in Philadelphia on September 3rd, and was originally scheduled to end in Montreal in January. However, Tyler’s injury initially occurred on the third show in New York on September 10th. He “sustained vocal cord damage” at the time, which “led to subsequent bleeding.”

Guys, I think it’s time to retire and enjoy your Permanent Vacation
He can’t run the bases, pitch, hit or catch the ball. His playing career is over. They should just have celebrity guest singers do the tour. Johnny Depp seems to be very accepted by all the ‘true rock fans’ today…….maybe he can do it.
Hmph! Quitters! KISS would NEVER cancel a tour because of a “fractured larynx”…(laughs!)
I think to say he can’t do it is not accurate because obviously he can. It’s the right time to go out though because obviously doing it comes at a price at that age. Had COVID not happened I think this would have already been behind us. I truly hope though they can finish these dates and if they feel it can’t be top notch, I also believe they’ll call it a day.
Lots of singers of all ages develop problems , most can be treated and repaired. Sometimes with age or overuse the only treatment is sync therapy lol .. but Tyler is a freak who can still sing great almost like his prime
He will be back ~
