The band’s farewell tour, “Peace Out,” kicked off just over a week earlier — with a show on September 2 in Philadelphia — and was initially scheduled to wrap with a final show in Montreal, Quebec, on January 26.
“It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives. Every night will celebrate the five decades of Aerosmith’s groundbreaking hits as they celebrate 50 years as America’s greatest rock band,” a statement promoting the tour read.
Aerosmith — formed in 1970 by Tyler, Joe Perry (guitar), and Tom Hamilton (bass) — has been performing and touring together for more than five decades, and the band was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame by performer Kid Rock in 2001.
