Legendary 70s rock band tease reunion tour after retiring over serious injury
Aerosmith's founding member Joe Perry has teased a possible reunion tour, which would come as a shock to fans after frontman Steven Tyler's vocal issues. Last year the I Don't Want To Miss A Thing hitmakers announced they would not be touring again after Steven, 77, damaged his vocal cords during the band's Peace Out tour in 2023. 10 months into their Peace Out Farewell Tour – which saw a string of concerts rescheduled – the band announced Steven's 'recovery from his vocal injury is not possible' and said they had made the 'heartbreaking and difficult decision' to retire from touring. Following a one-off charity performance in February, former Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum shared an update on his friend Steven, saying: 'Now, is he going to tour again? No, he's not. 'Because, and I explained this to people, Steven cannot put himself under the rigors of doing a full worldwide tour because there's a lot of pressure.' Now, Aerosmith guitarist Joe has given fresh hope for fans of the 70s rock band in an interview on the SiriusXM show Trunk Nation. 'I don't know man. We're talking about it. We're all alive and well, so we will just have to see,' he said of future gigs. 'I know there's going to be at least another Aerosmith gig, and I'm not looking forward to putting the setlist together for that one.' Asked whether Steven would be up to – and up for – it, Joe said: 'I think he would, but it's a matter of getting there. We're up there man, and it's a lot. 'With Covid and everyone being home for that length of time, it was like, 'Oh, so this is how other people live. Sleeping in your own bed every night.' 'I don't think I've gone a year without something on the calendar and having to be somewhere. So that's the bigger picture. I don't know. I got enough left in me, I still want to do it.' Sharing a statement on social media in August the band thanked fans for their support over the decades. 'It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. 'Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock 'n' roll history,' it began. 'It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives. 'We've always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven's voice is an instrument like no other. 'He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. 'We've seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. 'We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision – as a band of brothers – to retire from the touring stage.' More Trending It concluded: '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. '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.' The band's line-up had mostly remained for much of the past five decades, with the other four members being Joe, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford. Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide, including over 85 million records in the United States. Got a story?

Aerosmith fans are just realising what iconic band's name means after 55 years
Aerosmith, the American rock band that's been making waves in the music industry since 1970, hails from Boston and boasts a lineup of music icons - lead singer Steven Tyler, bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer and guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. These rock legends have created a sound that's all their own, mixing blues-based hard rock with pop rock, heavy metal, glam metal and rhythm and blues. It's no wonder they've inspired countless musicians with their distinctive style. While hits like "Dream On", "Walk This Way" and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" are well-known, many fans might not know the story behind the band's name. Curiosity about Aerosmith's name sparked discussions on Quora, where fans speculated about its origins. The truth behind the name is quite intriguing. When asked what the band's name means, one response read: "Aerosmith's name has an interesting origin. The band's lead guitarist, Joe Perry, and rhythm guitarist, Brad Whitford, came up with the name in the early 1970s. "It is said that they combined the word 'aero', which suggests a sense of airiness or flight, with 'smith', a suffix that implies craftsmanship or creation. Additionally, the name was inspired by the band's earlier name, 'Joe Perry's Aerosmith', which referenced Perry's last name. "Over time, they shortened it to just Aerosmith. The name reflects the band's rock and roll spirit and has become iconic in the music industry." Steven Tyler of Aerosmith performs during the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards (Image: AFP via Getty Images) Another person added: "Joey Kramer came up with it while doodling on a book cover as I recall. Other members invoked the name of the book 'Arrowsmith', and he said: 'no - AERO'. "The rest approved and the name was adopted for the fledgling band. The seminal Aerosmith 'wings' logo was a direct homage to the old 'Flying A' gas station signs. It of course evolved (in time) well past that humble beginning." A third also suggested: "Joey Kramer, the drummer came up with it, used to doodle the name over and over in his high school notebook, and not that awful boring book Arrowsmith. Anyway, the rest of the guys in the band liked the name and spelling and the rest is history - America's best rock band was born." Notwithstanding the mix of stories, there seems to be an authentic one among them. Joey Kramer, the co-founder and drummer of Aerosmith, is credited with naming the band. The band have had a number of big hits (Image:for Janie's Fund) In his 2009 memoir Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top, and during a chat with Ultimate Classic Rock Nights in 2019 , he shared that the inspiration for the band's name came to him back in 1968. This stroke of creativity occurred two years before Aerosmith was formed when Kramer was still a high-schooler, and he cites a Harry Nilsson album as the source of inspiration. Reflecting on the past, he reminisced: "I was listening to an album at the time, by Harry Nilsson, called Aerial Ballet. We were listening to this record and I started really getting off on the lyrics. "We started kicking around this word 'aerial,' and 'aerial' eventually came into 'aero' – I don't know how that happened. And it was like Aeromind, Aerostar, Aero-this, Aero-that; and somebody said 'smith'-Aerosmith? Wow! "And from then on it was all over my high school psychology books and my math books. The question was always, 'What's Aerosmith?' And I would tell people: 'When I leave high school I'm going to go have a rock 'n' roll band, and that's what it's going to be called. And we're going to be big and famous, and that's the scoop.' And they were all like, 'Oh, that's very nice, Joey.'"
