"I Still Want To Feel It All": Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" Hits A Majestic Streaming Milestone
- Alreadystreamed Billion Views: Hit's Popularity Soars
Hey there! Want to know one helluva cool fact about Aerosmith? Their classic tune, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," from the movie "Armageddon," has stormed its way past a monumental milestone on Spotify—one flipping billion streams!
That's right, folks! The legendary rockers and Steven Tyler himself (77) took to their social media platforms to proudly announce this earth-shattering achievement. Accompanying their post was a rad photo of Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry (74) grinning ear-to-ear, flashing a sign proclaiming "1.000.000.000 streams."
Aerosmith Bids Adieu to the Stage, for Now...
Although it's been a bummer for live show fans since August 2022, when the Boston-formed band (founded in 1970) declared their stage retirement via social media, this milestone is a small victory for Aerosmith enthusiasts. The reason? Frontman Tyler had been grappling with a vocal cord fracture since September 2023, prompting them to can their initially paused farewell tour.
In their announcement, the band paid tribute to their frontman's golden pipes, stating, "You know Steven's voice is an instrument like no other. He's been working his butt off for months to get his vocals back to their former glory." However, despite round-the-clock medical assistance, his recovery just wasn't in the cards.
"Unluckily, it's clear that a complete recovery from his vocal injury isn't in the cards. We've made a tough and necessary decision—as brothers in rock—to step away from the touring stage." The American badasses had suspended their "Peace Out: The Farewell Tour" in late September 2023 due to Tyler's vocal woes.
In their post, they urged their adoring fans, "Crank up our tunes, both now and forevermore. Keep dreaming. You've made our dreams come true." And boy, have they!
