A disappointment for fans of the rock legends from Aerosmith: The rock band had already canceled concerts in the summer of this year because their singer was withdrawn. Now appearances in Las Vegas are also canceled. Tyler is not feeling well and needs time to "rest".
The American rock band Aerosmith has to cancel concerts in Las Vegas. The reason given was the health of frontman Steven Tyler. The rockers were originally supposed to play at the Dolby Live Theater in MGM Park on December 5 as part of their tour. But nothing will come of it, as they now explained in a statement on Twitter. "On the advice of my doctor, I'm taking more time to rest," Tyler is quoted as saying. It continues: "There is no place we would rather be than on stage, surrounded by the best fans in the world." The tweet ends with an apology to his fans.
This is the second concert Aerosmith has canceled. The performance was canceled on Friday, "because Steven feels uncomfortable and cannot perform," it said. At this point, the band still assumed that the singer would be healthy again by Monday. No further details were given. It remains to be seen whether the concerts can take place on Thursday and Sunday.
However, there is no evidence of Tyler's drug problems again. Aerosmith were scheduled to play a series of "Deuces Are Wild" shows in Las Vegas this June and July. The rock band had to cancel the engagement because of their singer's drug problems.
Aerosmith announced in May that their singer had voluntarily entered rehab. He wanted to "focus on his health and recovery" there. After more than ten years of sobriety, he suffered a relapse due to a foot operation and the associated pain treatment. After Steven Tyler first went into drug rehabilitation in 1988, he stayed clean until 2009. After that first relapse, Tyler stayed off drugs until this year.
