Overview

  • In an August WBUR interview, Perry said Steven Tyler “just doesn’t want to tour and he can’t tour,” confirming that a full-scale Aerosmith comeback is off the table.
  • Perry indicated he would “bet that there’s an Aerosmith show left,” hinting at at least one final performance linked to discussions about a documentary.
  • The guitarist highlighted the strain of another 40-city trek on performers in their late 70s, noting the physical and emotional demands of extended tours.
  • Aerosmith has remained retired from touring since its August 2024 announcement following Tyler’s September 2023 larynx fracture, limiting appearances to select charity and benefit events.
  • Perry is currently touring the U.S. with The Joe Perry Project, featuring Brad Whitford, Buck Johnson, Chris Robinson, Robert DeLeo and Jason Sutter, for eight August dates.
