AEROSMITH Cancel Remaining Dates On "Rockin' The Joint" Tour

AEROSMITH have been forced to cancel the remaining dates on the fifth leg of their "Rockin' The Joint" sold-out North American tour (which has been ongoing since October 2005) in order for lead singer Steven Tyler to have surgery. Despite AEROSMITH's desire to keep the tour going as long as possible, Tyler's doctors advised him not to continue performing to give his voice time to recover. Tyler will be on total vocal rest and cannot perform for an extended period of time. AEROSMITH -- Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer -- apologize and regret any inconvenience to their fans. The band is now on hiatus but look forward to being back in the saddle with a new album and new tour dates (TBA).
