After more than half a century of career, the American band Aerosmith, led by Steven Tyler, announced this Monday their farewell tour, “Peace Out”, which will begin in September.
“After 50 years, 10 world tours and more than 100 million fans… It’s time for one more before we go!” The band shared on the Instagram social network.
The classic rock band consisting of Tyler (vocals), Joe Perry (lead guitar), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums) is scheduled for 40 shows starting September 12, starting in Philadelphia. , USA. , running through January 26, 2024, with the last concert scheduled in Montreal, Canada.
Aerosmith will be accompanied by The Black Crowes, who will act as the opening act for the tour, which will include, in addition to Canada, only North American cities such as Boston, New York, San Francisco and Seattle.
“It’s kind of an opportunity to celebrate 50 years that we’ve been here. You never know how much longer everyone will have the health to do this,” Perry told Fox News television.
The band, founded in Boston in 1970, announced in a statement that Kramer will not participate in the tour for health reasons.
The group hasn’t released a new album since “Another Dimension!”, the 15th album of their career, in 2012.
In May 2022, Aerosmith canceled shows in Las Vegas due to Tyler’s relapse into drug use.
In addition, the singer was indirectly implicated in December in a sexual assault lawsuit stemming from an alleged relationship with a minor in the 1970s.
The complaint did not explicitly mention her name, but according to Rolling Stone magazine, the complainant had already gone public with her experience with Tyler in the past.
