Aerosmith's farewell tour, dubbed "Peace Out," came to a sudden halt after a performance that left fans concerned about the band's iconic frontman, Steven Tyler, with vocal cord damage. The 75-year-old singer revealed the unfortunate turn of events on his Instagram account today, sharing details about the damage sustained during the Saturday show held on New York's Long Island. According to the Chicago Tribune, Tyler has been instructed by his doctor not to sing for the next 30 days in order to recover properly.

 

The vocal cord injury led to a significant postponement of six shows on the farewell tour, affecting fans in Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Toronto, Raleigh, and Cleveland. NBC Chicago reports that these shows were pushed back, with the Chicago show now taking place on February 14th, 2024. Though refunds are available for those who can't attend the rescheduled shows, many fans will be left counting down the days until the beloved band takes the stage again.

Aerosmith's final tour makes its way through 40 cities across North America, complete with support from The Black Crowes as their opening act.
