Long-running rock band Aerosmith is pressing pause on their newly launched farewell tour. In a statement shared Monday night (September 11), frontman Steven Tyler reveals he’s been ordered to a month of vocal rest.

“I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days,” says Tyler. “I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”
The postponement affects six dates of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band’s Peace Out Tour, including performances in Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Raleigh, and Washington D.C.
Aerosmith has already confirmed the rescheduled dates for their September shows, which are listed below. All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the rescheduled dates, and fans no longer able to attend can receive refunds at their original point of purchase.
The band has performed just three dates of their North American tour, which began September 2 in Philadelphia. Currently, Aerosmith is scheduled to make their return to the stage with a stop in Tampa, Florida, on October 11.
