Aerosmith's Joe Perry shares that the band is discussing a formal goodbye concert
After the abrupt cancellation of their "Peace Out" farewell tour in 2023 due to frontman Steven Tyler's vocal injury, legendary rock band Aerosmith is now considering a final farewell concert. Guitarist Joe Perry confirmed the discussions, hinting at potential plans for a reunion[1][2][3].
Recently, Tyler performed as part of a supergroup at an unspecified charity event, offering a glimpse of his recovery progress[6][7]. The performance was described as "magic" by Metal Hammer's full review[8]. Perry also appeared at the event earlier this year, marking a reunion of the bandmates.
The supergroup lineup for the charity event included Ronnie Wood, Nuno Bettencourt, Tom Morello, Andrew Watt, Rudy Sarzo, and Travis Barker[9]. While the performance did not involve a full Aerosmith reunion, the event has sparked speculation about a potential reunion in the future.
Tyler has been optimistic about his ability to perform a full show, but recovery is a slow process[10][11]. Perry, however, seems less enthusiastic about setting the setlist for the upcoming Aerosmith gig[12].
Despite the excitement, no specific details about the supergroup's formation or purpose were disclosed. Moreover, the details of Aerosmith's final performance, including the date and location, remain undetermined[13][14].
Fans eagerly await any official announcements regarding a farewell concert, with the charity performance serving as a potential step towards the band's final performance. The band's retirement from touring was announced in August 2024, following the cancellation of the initial farewell tour[4][5].
