The legendary band Aerosmith has made the sad announcement that they are retiring from touring after 50 years together. They were sadly left with no choice but to do this after frontman Steven Tyler’s voice was unable to recover from injury.
Aerosmith Announces Retirement
Tyler, 76, has been struggling to recover from trauma to his vocal cords and larynx. Tyler suffered this injury during a show in New York in September of 2023. In this injury, he “sustained vocal cord damage” that “led to subsequent bleeding.”
Back in February, Tyler’s daughter Mia told People Magazine that her father was doing “much better.” However, she added that he was struggling to follow his doctors’ orders.
“It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith,” the band wrote on Instagram.

‘Full Recovery’ For Tyler ‘Is Not Possible’
It has since unfortunately become clear that a full recovery for his voice simply is not in the cards.
Aerosmith concluded by thanking their inner circle and their fans for their support over the course of half a century.
“We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible,” they stated. “A final thank you to you – the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.”
Aerosmith’s History
Tyler formed Aerosmith in 1970 with Joe Perry, Ray Tabano, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer. Tabano was later replaced by Brad Whitford. The band has achieved full legendary status. They have won four Grammys and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
Aerosmith is one of the most epic bands of all time. While it’s sad that they will no longer be touring, they will always live on through their iconic music.
Please join us in saying a prayer for Tyler as he continues his recovery!
