Aerosmith is sharing new tour dates seven months after Steven Tyler’s vocal chords became severely injured.
As CBS News reports, following a show in 2023, Tyler’s vocal chords were left damaged and bleeding. He was put on 30 days of vocal rest, but things got worse before they got better.
Further inspection revealed that he fractured his larynx.
Now, after months of recovery, Tyler is ready to get back on the stage. Aerosmith has announced its farewell tour is back on and will continue through 2025.
The “Peace Out” tour will begin in Pittsburgh on Sept. 20 and continue from there.
Tyler stepped away from the stage in September 2023 after the latest Aerosmith show left him severely injured.
According to a statement from Tyler’s team, while performing a concert in Long Island, he injured himself while singing.
Immediately after performing, Tyler flew to Boston to meet with his ear, nose and throat doctor, who X-rayed the singer’s vocal cords and found them to be “mangled,” TMZ reports.
It was believed Tyler’s vocal cords suffered the injury early on in his show, but he was able to finish his set. In fact, he hid it so well that audience members had no idea he was in pain, the outlet reports.
A source told TMZ, at the time that Tyler couldn’t even speak; only “squeaks” came out before putting him on vocal rest.
In his statement, Tyler wrote, “To all our fans, ‘I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days. I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.’”
While there is not much more information than that, a source told TMZ that “Steven’s an animal. There’s no stopping him.”
We will update this report as more information about Tyler and Aerosmith becomes available.
