Aerosmith previously postponed their 2023 Peace Out Farewell Tour after Steven Tyler's injury

In September last year, the rock band postponed their entire Peace Out Farewell Tour after completing only three shows. At the time, Aerosmith addressed the cancelation in a statement, saying:

"Unfortunately, Steven's vocal injury is more serious than initially thought."

The rock band also shared with fans that Steven Tyler had fractured his larynx, along with damaged vocal cords, and needed constant care, as confirmed by his doctor. After a while, the postponed tour dates were shifted to 2024 with a planned 40-date run that was supposed to start in Pittsburg on September 20, with the finale scheduled for February 2025 in Buffalo, New York.

Per Aerosmith's latest statement, all purchased concert tickets will be fully refunded through Ticketmaster and for other third-party tickets, fans can reach out to their respective sites.
