Ringo Starr, Dolly Parton, Eminem, Slash… These are just some of the musicians who participate in the fun video, in the manner of a catastrophe ‘thriller’ and around a last-hour newscast that promises to paralyze the planet, with the one that Aerosmith announced yesterday ‘Peace Out’, its farewell tour after more than half a century on stages all over the world.
“After fifty years, ten world tours and over a hundred million fans… It’s time for one more before we go!” the band fronted by Steven Tyler shared on Instagram. And they warned: «It is not a farewell. It’s ‘Peace Out’. Get ready and walk around here -they wrote in reference to one of their greatest hits, ‘Walk This Way’-. You are going to have the best concert of your lives.
The ‘tour’, with forty dates in different cities in North America, will start on September 2 in Philadelphia and will end on January 26 in Montreal. It will, of course, have a casualty, that of Joey Kramer, drummer and founding member of the quintet that began its journey in Boston in 1970, who has preferred to stay out of the tour to focus “on his family and his health.” “We will miss his presence very much,” says the band responsible for hits like ‘Crazy’, ‘Janie’s Got a Gun’ or ‘Dream On’.
Yes, Tyler (vocals), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joe Perry (lead guitar) are confirmed. «It is an opportunity to celebrate fifty years that we have been here. You never know how much longer everyone is going to be healthy,” Perry explained to Fox News about the members of the group, all of whom are over 70 years old.
drug relapse
It is unknown if the tour will continue through Europe. The difficulties due to the health situation derived from the covid and Tyler’s relapse into his drug addiction, after an operation on his foot, and his subsequent entry into rehabilitation led last year to the cancellation of the European tour, which was to stop in Madrid, and part of the residence that the band was going to do in Las Vegas.
It was not a good year for Tyler. In December he was sued by a woman with whom he had a relationship in the seventies, when she was a minor and he was around 25 years old, and of whom Tyler himself had spoken in his autobiography. The complainant, then 16, accused him of using her fame and status to “sexually assault” her. In the autobiography, Tyler said that he was living with an ‘adolescent’, that due to her age, her parents signed a paper giving her custody and that there was even an abortion.
