Don’t be “Cryin,” but Aerosmith looks to be “Jaded,” as the “Amazing” classic rock group has decided to call it quits, “Walk[ing] This Way” for the last time. The band’s decades of “Livin On The Edge” have finally come to an end.

Aerosmith has decided to pull the plug on its “Peace Out” farewell tour, which was slated to include a performance at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

The difficult decision was made following frontman Steven Tyler’s consistent signs of vocal chords damage, which was first reported in September 2023 and had resulted in multiple tour delays.

“We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision—as a band of brothers—to retire from the touring stage,” the band said.

It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.

“[Steven Tyler] has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible,” it continued.

The band further stated that fans will see their money “automatically refunded within 30 days” if they had purchased online tickets for any upcoming shows or previously scheduled shows that were delayed to a future date.

“It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives,” the statement continued.

“We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time… A final thank you to you—the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.”
