Aerosmith held an emergency crisis talk in February to save the band from splitting up.  The move to hold the talks came after Steven Tyler had announced that he planned to take a two-year hiatus from the band before quitting the band.

“There was management there. (We were) all lawyered up,” he told the Boston Herald. “There was a lot of sort of reconciling and processing feelings and stuff. Everyone said how they wanted things to be in the future and it became clear that, for everybody, the coolest thing to do would be to resolve things with the band.

“The phone was ringing. People wanted to see the band. We finally realised, even with all the bullshit flying around, that there was a beautiful thing right there if we had enough sense to grab it.”

Hamilton also mentioned that Steven Tyler going into rehab for an addiction to painkillers helped to keep the band together.

“(It was an) intensive sobriety treatment (programme),” he added. “He took a really big step and it was really great.”

The band have since announced a European tour taking in a show at London’s O2 Arena
and a headline slot at this summer’s Download Festival alongside Rage Against The Machine and AC/DC.

Official Statement from Aerosmith:

The seemingly star-crossed and previously canceled concert is now scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 20, Maui Arts & Cultural Center Executive Vice President and General Manager Art Vento confirmed Monday.

Along with their four Grammys, 150 million albums sold and many other achievements, members of the group shot to new fame with the 2008 release of the video game Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Edition.

The injury that Steven Tyler suffered earlier this month has unfortunately forced Aerosmith to cancel the rest of the summer tour.

Aerosmith made the announcement nine days after Steven fell off the stage in South Dakota.  He broke his shoulder and received a nasty gash to his head.

Aerosmith’s much anticipated summer tour has been plagued by several health issues to different members of the band from the start.

BELOW IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BAND

It is with great regret that AEROSMITH are canceling the remainder of their summer tour, it was announced today.

Due to injuries STEVEN TYLER sustained last week when he fell from the stage during a concert in Sturgis, SD, doctors have advised the lead singer to take the time to properly recuperate from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to his head.  In his current condition, TYLER is unable to tour and the band wants to give him time to get healthy.

Ticket refunds for the rest of the tour dates with special guests ZZ Top will be available at point of purchase.

TYLER fell from the stage during the August 5 show that was part of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Western South Dakota. The mishap occurred while he was dancing during the band’s “Love in an Elevator.” TYLER was subsequently airlifted to a hospital and then returned to Boston to consult with his own doctors.

AEROSMITH–STEVEN TYLER (vocals), JOE PERRY (guitar), BRAD WHITFORD (guitar), TOM HAMILTON (bass) and JOEY KRAMER (drums)–want to thank all their fans for their incredible ongoing support and understanding at this time.

“Words can’t express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour,” says JOE PERRY. “I would like to thank our loyal fans for sticking by us through thick and thin and all the good energy they are sending our way.  We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible.  I sure am going to miss playing with ZZ Top just as I’m sure the fans are going to miss seeing them playing with us as well. Hope to see you sooner than later.” JOE adds, ” My hat’s off to our crew for putting up with this crazy stop and start tour. In my estimation, it was one of the best looking and best run tours we’ve ever had. Us road dawgs will meet again. May your wheels keep turning and your load in’s stay smooth.”

“All of us here in the AEROSMITH organization and all of the people who contribute to making our shows possible are in a state of shock,”

BRAD WHITFORD says. “We never anticipated this tour coming to such a swift and unfortunate ending. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steven for a speedy recovery and return to good health.”
