Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler will not tour again despite his recent performance at a charity gig earlier this month, per ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum.
Earlier this month, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler hosted his annual Jam For Janie charity event, which took place on February 3 and doubled as a Grammys watch party. At the event, Tyler hit the stage for a brief performance.
The great lead singer from Aerosmith tried out his healing voice and throat Sunday night after the Grammys at his own charity event.
At his annual fundraiser for his Janie’s Fund, Tyler took the stage with a a variety of musicians including Nino Bettancourt, Lainey Wilson, Matt Sorum, and Chris Robinson, Showbiz411 report.
Looking healthy and ready to rock, Tyler first sang Bettancourt’s Eighties “More Than Words” as a kind of preview what was to come. Once Tyler was confident, he welcomed country singer Wilson to the stage, sat down at the piano and started playing the introduction to “Dream On.”
To say the crowd at the Hollywood Palladium went crazy is an understatement. With Tyler hitting they keys, Wilson sang the beginning verse to the classic rock songs. Then Tyler swooped in, and it was clear he was in command.
Tyler first announced a broken larynx in September 2023. He thought it would heal enough to go back on tour, but in August 2024 the decision was made to stop touring. His voice had not recovered. A final Aerosmith tour was scuttled.
If tonight was any evidence Tyler could record again with Aerosmith. A return to touring might be ill advised. But a final show, filmed, would seem like a great idea.
What a thrill to hear Steven Tyler again tonight. The other musicians he featured before he hit the stage were Joan Jett, Billy Idol, a doting Mick Fleetwood, and hatted songwriter Linda Perry ferociously fronting the house band on a couple of Led Zeppelin songs. She was sensational.
