Aerosmith fans, brace yourselves. The band’s frontman Steven Tyler has confirmed they are done and planning a farewell tour for 2017.
“I love this band, I really do, and I want to squash every thought that anybody might have about this: The band’s over.
“We’re doing a farewell tour, but it’s only because it’s time,” People quoted Tyler as saying on a radio show.
When the radio host made Tyler confirm it by asking if he meant the band would be gone for good, the 68-year-old said: “Yeah”.
He added that guitarist Joe Perry also knows about the decision.
While Tyler said the farewell tour would go on “probably forever”, he also quipped about bands like The Who and KISS, which each went on multiple “farewell tours”.
Perhaps plans to wrap up seem to have been in the making as Tyler had told a magazine that Aerosmith would likely go out one last time in 2017.
Aerosmith formed in 1970 and released their last studio album, Music from Another Dimension!, in 2012.
