Aerosmith Announces Retirement from Touring

Aerosmith has officially retired from touring following lead singer Steven Tyler's serious vocal injury, specifically a fractured larynx sustained during a concert in September 2023. Bassist Tom Hamilton clarified that Tyler's injury was not due to negligence, as he completed the show despite the injury, demonstrating his commitment to the audience. Hamilton confirmed that the decision to retire was a collective one made by the band and management, and he emphasized that there are no plans to tour with another vocalist. While the future of Aerosmith remains uncertain, Hamilton expressed optimism about potential new music, stating that all members have music in their future, though it won't include touring. He also noted that he has been working on new songs with friends and hopes to perform them soon. The band has not ruled out the possibility of recording new music, but discussions on that front appear unclear.
