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.
