Aerosmith Tour Off
Tyler fell from the stage during an Aug. 5 concert in Sturgis, S.D., breaking his shoulder and cutting his head. The singer’s doctors have advised him to take time to properly recuperate, forcing the band to make the decision to abandon the rest of their summer tour.
“Words can’t express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour,” guitarist Joe Perry said in a statement, “I would like to thank our loyal fans for sticking by us through thick and thin and all the good energy they are sending our way.
“We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible. I sure am going to miss playing with ZZ Top just as I’m sure the fans are going to miss seeing them playing with us as well. Hope to see you sooner than later.
“My hat’s off to our crew for putting up with this crazy stop and start tour. In my estimation, it was one of the best looking and best run tours we’ve ever had. Us road dawgs will meet again. May your wheels keep turning and your load ins stay smooth.”
Brad Whitford added, “All of us here in the Aerosmith organization and all of the people who contribute to making our shows possible are in a state of shock. We never anticipated this tour coming to such a swift and unfortunate ending. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steven for a speedy recovery and return to good health.”
Ticket refunds will be available at point of purchase.
