Steven Tyler Will Not Resume Touring After Vocal Injury, Says Matt Sorum

The Aerosmith frontman, 77, retired from touring following a severe larynx injury in 2023, despite limited recent live performances.

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum confirmed that Steven Tyler will not return to full-scale touring due to the physical and mental strain involved.
Tyler fractured his larynx during Aerosmith's 'Peace Out' Farewell Tour in September 2023, leading to the cancellation of the tour and the band's retirement from touring in August 2024.
Despite his injury, Tyler has performed twice since 2023, including a recent appearance at the Jam for Janie benefit concert in February 2025 to support his Janie's Fund charity.
Sorum emphasized Tyler’s perfectionism, noting that the singer refuses to use vocal backing tracks or adjust song keys, making touring particularly challenging at his age.
While Tyler may consider occasional small performances in the future, Sorum clarified that a full worldwide tour is no longer feasible for the iconic rocker.
