Steven Tyler Returns to Stage at Charity Event Following Aerosmith’s Touring Retirement
The 76-year-old rock legend performed six songs at his annual Jam for Janie fundraiser, marking his first major appearance since a vocal injury led to Aerosmith's retirement from touring.
- Steven Tyler performed at the Hollywood Palladium during his Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party on February 2, 2025, benefiting his Janie's Fund charity and wildfire relief efforts.
- The setlist included Aerosmith classics like 'Dream On,' 'Sweet Emotion,' and 'Walk This Way,' along with covers such as Extreme's 'More Than Words' and Led Zeppelin's 'Heartbreaker.'
- Tyler was joined by notable guests, including Mick Fleetwood, Lainey Wilson, Nuno Bettencourt, and Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, though a full Aerosmith reunion did not occur.
- Aerosmith retired from touring in August 2024 following Tyler's severe vocal injury, but bandmate Tom Hamilton recently suggested possible future collaborations, though nothing is confirmed.
- Proceeds from the event supported Janie's Fund, which aids survivors of abuse, and organizations assisting those affected by recent Los Angeles wildfires.
