Joe Perry Says Aerosmith Not in Touring Mode, Explores Other Options

Perry signals cautious openness to limited activity thanks to Steven Tyler’s improving voice.

Overview

  • In a new Billboard interview, Perry said the band is not preparing to tour and hinted at alternative ways to perform or engage with fans.
  • Perry noted that Steven Tyler only became comfortable singing again over the past six months after a year of vocal rest following a 2023 larynx fracture.
  • No Aerosmith shows are planned in the near term as Perry heads to Europe this summer with Hollywood Vampires, his group with Alice Cooper, Tommy Henriksen, and Johnny Depp.
  • The group retired from touring in August 2024 after cutting short its Peace Out farewell run, which ended three dates in after a September 2023 show in Elmont, New York.
  • Recent activity has focused on releases rather than gigs, including a five-song EP with Yungblud last November and a newly issued Legendary Edition of their 1973 debut.
