Posted in Aerosmith, Music, Music Bands on the October 13, 2009
It seems that Aerosmith’s recording and touring break aren’t just because of lead singer Steven Tyler’s injuries from a recent stage accident. His ego can also be blamed. According to the band’s guitarist Joe Perry, Steven has not spoken to the rest of the band since the accident in August. If he does have to communicate, he does it through his new management team. Steven and Joe haven’t even written a song together for the past 10 years! For a band that’s been together for over 40 years, that’s just cold. Joe is staying optimistic that the band will be back on its feet though saying “I think we need more time to get everybody healthy and the whole thing, and see if Steven wants to be part of the band again.”

The tour will kick off on February 4th in Brisbane, Australia and will wrap up on June 2nd in Washington DC. Taylor spoke about the new tour saying “We had so much fun on the `Fearless’ tour the first time around that we decided that we had to keep going with it.”
