Aerosmith has been rocking since the early ’70s, and they want to dream on about retirement from the road because they are in their 70s. So today, they announced their farewell tour, Peace Out.
PEACE OUT! After 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for over 100 million fans… It’s time for one last go!
Aerosmith PEACE OUT with special guest The Black Crowes! Fans will see one of the most significant American rock bands in history one last time during this not-to-be-missed final tour. Every night will celebrate the five decades of Aerosmith’s groundbreaking hits as they celebrate 50 years as America’s greatest rock band. In addition, THX will bring their THX Certified Live! high-fidelity experience on the road, calibrating each arena with leading-edge technology so fans don’t miss a beat of Aerosmith’s classic rock tunes in quality audio.
In a joint statement, Aerosmith shared, “It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives.”
I get it; they are not spring chickens anymore. But I don’t have a sweet emotion about this news. Because I have never seen them live, so I am going to run, I mean, walk this way to get tickets because I don’t want to miss a thing.
The tour starts on September 2nd in Philadelphia, and tickets go on sale on Cinco de Mayo.
Aerosmith announced on Saturday that they were cancelling that night’s show in Las Vegas “due to Steven [Tyler] feeling unwell and unable to perform.” Then, they added that tonight’s concert would go as planned.
But things changed, “Steven Tyler said ‘on the advice of my doctor, I’m taking more time to rest… there is nowhere we’d rather be than on stage surrounded by the greatest fans in the world..’”
Their next concert is on Thursday, so hopefully, Tyler is feeling better by then.
Steven Tyler has had problems with addiction for many decades, but he has been sober for a while. However, he recently had a relapse, so he is getting the help he needs. Because of that, Aerosmith announced today that they will be cancelling the first part of their Las Vegas residency that was supposed to start next month and continue through until July.
“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years. After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery,” Aerosmith said in a statement. “Thank you for your understanding and for your support for Steven during this time.”
Hopefully, now that he is on the road to recovery, he will be able to be back on the touring road soon, much to the delight of his fans.

Steven Tyler is a very touchy-feely guy, but that is not something we should be doing now, according to CDC. Therefore, he released PSA telling us to do as he says and not as he does. In other words, Stop Messing Around as Aerosmith’s song tells us to do.
Especially, since the band members are in the high-risk group for the Coronavirus. Then again, if drugs couldn’t get them, I doubt (and pray) this can either.
