This week, Aerosmith enthusiasts, numbering in the tens of thousands, received disappointing news as the iconic rock band announced the postponement of six upcoming dates on their farewell tour, known as “Peace Out: The Farewell Tour.” The delay stems from a health issue affecting Aerosmith’s frontman, Steven Tyler, who conveyed the update to their dedicated fan base through their official Instagram account.

The affected tour dates, initially slated for Toronto (scheduled for September 12), Chicago (set for September 15), Detroit (on September 18), Cleveland (scheduled for September 21), Raleigh (slated for September 24), and Washington D.C. (on September 27), will now be rescheduled to early 2024. The reason behind this delay is unfortunate; Steven Tyler has received advice from medical professionals to abstain from singing for the next 30 days due to substantial vocal cord damage sustained during a recent performance.

In their Instagram statement, Aerosmith expressed their heartfelt regrets, stating, “To all our fans, I am deeply saddened to announce that I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days. I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We will need to postpone a few dates so that we can return and provide you with the performance you deserve.”
Aerosmith also reassured fans that previously purchased tickets would be valid for the rescheduled dates and that refunds would be available for those unable to attend. They encouraged fans with refund-related inquiries to reach out to their original point of purchase.
Originally announced on May 1, “Peace Out: The Farewell Tour” was intended to span 40 dates from September 2 (Philadelphia) to January 26 (Montreal). However, with these postponements, the tour’s conclusion will now be at a later date, with the band resuming touring on Monday, October 11.
Aerosmith’s decision to embark on this final tour underscores their dedication to their loyal fan base, especially given the advancing ages of the band members. Steven Tyler celebrated his 75th birthday in March, and the demands of a 40-show tour undoubtedly pose physical challenges. Nevertheless, Tyler’s commitment to his fans has been evident in the past, such as his contribution to the establishment of “Janie’s House” in 2019. Named after Aerosmith’s hit song “Janie’s Got a Gun,” this sanctuary for abused and neglected girls received a generous donation of $500,000 from the frontman. It serves as a haven for women in need.
Here’s to a swift recovery for Steven Tyler and the hope that he can return to what he does best – rocking the stage!
