Aerosmith Retires from Touring, Says Frontman Steven Tyler's 'Full Recovery from Vocal Injury Is Not Possible'

"We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side," the band's statement read

Aerosmith is officially retiring from touring after Steven Tyler's vocal injury.

The "Walk This Way" band made the heartbreaking announcement on Friday, Aug. 2 — nearly one year after Tyler, 76, fractured his larynx during a September 2023 show.

"As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible," the statement read.

"We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision - as a band of brothers - to retire from the touring stage," the statement continued. "We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time."

The band also thanked their fanbase for their constant support.

"Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades," the statement read. "Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history."
