Aerosmith formed in Boston in 1970, scoring their first hit, Dream On, in 1973.  After running into hard times in the early 80s, the band received a second life after Run-D.M.C. covered one of their hits in 1986.  Last week, the band announced they’d come to the end of the road, as singer Steven Tyler was unable to recover from a fractured larynx.

The band announced a farewell tour in May of 2023, scheduled to kick off that September.  Tyler suffered the injury just three dates into that tour, on September 9th at Elmont, New York.  The remainder of the tour was postponed to allow Tyler time to recover, but it was all for nought.  Those 40 postponed dates have no officially been cancelled.  While guitarist Joe Perry says he is not closing the door to recording new music in the future, the band has not released a new album since 2012.
