Aerosmith: Steven Tyler Departs From Group
According to Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, singer Steven Tyler has quit the band “as far as I can tell.” He went on to tell sources that the singer, “has had no contact with me or the other band members.” Last week, rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford, said that the group was going to hold crisis talks about their future after relations with Tyler became strained.
Over the past few months, Aerosmith has had constant trouble. In August Tyler was airlifted to hospital after falling offstage at a gig in Dakota, which casued the band to cancel a U.S. tour. Despite Tyler’s supposed departure, guitarist Joe Perry guitarist said the group would remain and that they are considering replacing him with a new vocalist.
“Right now I’m adjusting to how we’re going to go on,” Perry explained. “Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it’s like a steam locomotive. You just can’t disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. As far as replacing Steve, it’s not just about that, it’s also four guys that play extremely well together, and I’m not going to see that go to waste. I really don’t know what path it’s going to take at this point, but we’ll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer.”
