After over five decades, Aerosmith is retiring from touring.

The band's official X account, previously known as Twitter, announced on Friday that they had made the "heartbreaking" decision to stop performing because Steven Tyler's voice has not fully recovered.

In 1970, Aerosmith was born out of a spark of inspiration. Thanks to our loyal fans, that spark ignited and has been burning for over 50 years. Some of you have been with us from the start, and all of you are the reason we made rock 'n' roll history.

We are honored to have our music be a part of your lives. From every club to massive tours and intimate moments, you have given us a place in your soundtrack. We have always aimed to blow your minds when performing.

The band then addressed the current state of Tyler's health.

"Steven's voice is unique and he has spent months perfecting it, even after his injury."

"Unfortunately, it is evident that a complete recovery from his vocal injury is not achievable. As a group of brothers, we have made a painful and challenging, yet necessary, decision - to withdraw from the touring stage."

"We are immensely grateful to our crew, team, and the thousands of talented individuals who have made our historic runs possible. We also thank our amazing fans, who are the best on Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You've made our dreams come true."

Planet Chronicle Digital has reached out to Aerosmith for additional comment.

In May 2023, Aerosmith declared their final tour, aiming to offer fans a final opportunity to witness the band perform live.

Joe Perry, the guitarist of the band, announced his retirement from touring at the time of the announcement. He cited the age of the band members, who are all in their early to mid 70s, as a significant reason for his decision.

"I think it’s about time," he simply said.

Since 1970, the group consisting of Perry, Tyler, Brad Whitford, Joey Kramer and Todd Hamilton has been together and has released hits such as "Janie's Got a Gun," "Crazy," and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" in the past 53 years.

Last year, they performed additional songs in their Las Vegas residency, and now Perry suggests using some of the production value from the residency for their upcoming tour.

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

"We have a chance to celebrate our 50th year of performing," said Perry. "We don't know how long we'll all be healthy enough to continue. It's been a while since we've done a real tour. Our Vegas run was enjoyable, but we're excited to get back on the road."

Tyler announced the Peace Out tour, stating, "We're opening up Pandora's Box one last time to present our fans with the Peace Out tour. Be there or beware as we bring all the toys out of the attic. Get ready."

While both Perry and Tyler described the upcoming tour as a farewell, Tyler added, "It’s the final farewell tour, but I have a feeling it will go on for a while. However, I don't know how many times we'll be returning to the same cities. It could very possibly be the last time."
