Aerosmith has declared their retirement from the touring circuit. This decision comes in the wake of lead vocalist Steven Tyler‘s persistent vocal cord issues, which have proven insurmountable despite extensive medical intervention, reports Deadline. The quintet, renowned for their electrifying live performances and chart-topping hits spanning five decades, shared the news via their official social media channels.
“We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing,” the band wrote. “As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other.

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