TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Aerosmith has postponed their “Peace Out” farewell tour after doctors discovered Steven Tyler’s vocal cord damage was more severe than originally thought.

In a Facebook post Friday, the band said they were forced to push their upcoming shows to “sometime in 2024” after doctors confirmed the singer fractured his larynx.

Aerosmith initially postponed their September dates after Tyler suffered vocal cord damage during a performance, resulting in bleeding. The tour was then scheduled to begin in Tampa on Oct. 11.

“He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of a fracture, he is being told patience is essential,” Aerosmith wrote in Friday’s statement.

Tickets will be honored for the rescheduled tour dates, the band said. Refunds will be available when the new concert dates are announced.

“I am heartbroken to not be out there with Aerosmith, my brothers, and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking with the best fans in the world,” Tyler wrote in a statement. “I promise we will be back as soon as we can.”
