Aerosmith retires from touring, citing permanent damage to Steven Tyler’s voice last year

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Aerosmith says Steven Tyler’s voice has been permanently damaged by a vocal cord injury last year and the band will no longer tour. The iconic band behind hits like “Love in an Elevator” and “Livin’ on the Edge” posted a statement Friday announcing the cancellation of remaining dates on its tour. Tyler announced in September he injured his vocal cords during a show on tour. Tyler said in an Instagram statement at the time that the injury caused bleeding but that he hoped the band would be back after postponing a few shows. They were near the start of a 40-date farewell tour when Tyler was injured.
