<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aerosmith has officially stopped touring due to a vocal injury lead singer </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/steven-tyler"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Steven Tyler</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> sustained last year.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Band members</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> announced on Friday that all remaining tour dates would be canceled with no plans to reschedule or resume at a later time. Their most recent “Peace Out.. Farewell Tour” was already being billed as their goodbye, per </span><a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/aerosmith-announces-retirement-touring-steven-tyler-vocal-recovery-cancels-concerts-1236094474/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Aerosmith postponed future dates after a show in Elmont, NY, in September 2023 but has now decided to cancel those missed tour stops for good.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history,” the band shared in a statement.</span></p>

Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible.

<p>Aerosmith announced Friday that the remaining 2023 dates for the &#8220;Peace Out&#8221; tour have been canceled.</p>
<p>In a post on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=888844689277603&amp;set=a.264695028359242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a>, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/steven-tyler-enters-rehab-for-pain-pills-forcing-aerosmith-to-cancel-vegas-residency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steven Tyler</a>-lead group shared that the 2023 and 2024 upcoming tour dates were all being postponed due to Tyler&#8217;s &#8220;vocal injury,&#8221; which it said was more serious than the band previously believed.</p>
<p>&#8220;To our fans: Unfortunately, Steven&#8217;s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of a fracture, he is being told patience is essential,&#8221; it added.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a result, all the currently scheduled PEACE OUT shows must be postponed to sometime in 2024, with new dates to be announced as soon as we know more, the message continued.</p>
<p>The post ended with a comment from Tyler about being &#8220;heartbroken.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am heartbroken to not be out there with Aerosmith, my brothers and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking with the best fans in the world,&#8221; the lead singer&#8217;s message read. &#8220;I promise we will be back as soon as we can!&#8217; &#8211; Love, Steven.&#8221;</p>
<p>The news comes following an earlier announcement from the band this month that they would need to reschedule a few dates of the tour in 2024 because of his vocal injury after doctors told him he must stop singing for 30 days.</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/Aerosmith/status/1701370125926957360?s=20</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor&#8217;s orders not to sing for the next thirty days,&#8221; Tyler wrote. &#8220;I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday&#8217;s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We&#8217;ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.&#8217; &#8211; Steven Tyler.&#8221;</p>

<p>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 <a href="https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/aerosmith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was inducted</a> into the Rock&#8217;n&#8217;Roll Hall of Fame by performer Kid Rock in 2001.</p>


Steven Tyler Postpones Aerosmith Farewell Tour After Vocal Cord Injury

U.S.

<p>Aerosmith&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/steven-tyler-enters-rehab-for-pain-pills-forcing-aerosmith-to-cancel-vegas-residency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steven Tyler</a> finally responded to claims that he allegedly sexually assaulted a minor in 1973 — and forced the the girl to get an abortion — in response to a lawsuit filed in December.</p>
<p>In the lengthy response obtained by <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/steven-tyler-denies-sexual-assault-claims-1234710248/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RollingStone</a> magazine, the 75-year-old rocker adamantly denied the allegations made by plaintiff Julia Misley, formerly known as Julia Holcomb.</p>
<p>The band&#8217;s frontman stated in his defense that the plaintiff consented to the sexual relationship between them as he issued 24 affirmative defenses denying the allegations and requested that a judge dismiss the lawsuit filed in December 2022.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>In one such defense, Tyler wrote that plaintiff Misley&#8217;s &#8220;claims are barred in whole or in part by Plaintiff&#8217;s consent&#8221; and &#8220;because of immunity or qualified immunity to Defendant as caregiver and/or guardian.&#8221;</p>
<p>The singer also claimed that Misley &#8220;has not suffered any injury or damage as a result of any action by Defendant,&#8221; further stating that &#8220;if it is determined that Plaintiff has been damaged, then any such damages were not caused by Defendant,&#8221; the outlet noted.</p>
<p>In a statement from Misley&#8217;s attorney, Jeff Anderson called Tyler&#8217;s response &#8220;gaslighting&#8221; and that Tyler is &#8220;falsely claiming that she &#8216;consented&#8217; and that the pain he inflicted was &#8220;justified and in good faith.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Never have we encountered a legal defense as obnoxious and potentially dangerous as the one that Tyler and his lawyers launched this week: Their claim that legal guardianship is consent and permission for sexual abuse,&#8221; Anderson&#8217;s statement added.</p>
<p>The response came three months after Misley filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. The woman has long claimed that Tyler made her abort their baby in the 1970s when she was just 17, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aerosmiths-steven-tyler-accused-of-child-sexual-abuse-in-new-lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. She sued before a CA state law expired last year dealing with certain sexual abuse crimes.</p>
<p>While the suit, does not directly name Tyler, the plaintiff quotes Tylers 2011 memoir about how he &#8220;almost took a teen bride&#8221; whose &#8220;parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn&#8217;t get arrested if I took her out of state.&#8221; In the lawsuit, she accuses Tyler of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.</p>

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler Finally Responds To Claims He Allegedly Sexually Assaulted A Minor

Courts

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A woman who has long claimed Aerosmith singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/steven-tyler-enters-rehab-for-pain-pills-forcing-aerosmith-to-cancel-vegas-residency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steven Tyler</a> made her abort their baby in the 1970s when she was just 17 has sued the rock star under a California law that expires Saturday.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The suit, filed by Julia Holcomb in Los Angeles and first reported by <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/steven-tyler-sexual-assault-minor-lawsuit-1234653817/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rolling Stone</a>, does not name Tyler, but quotes Tyler&#8217;s 2011 memoir, in which he described the relationship. Holcomb has told her story previously, but had just days remaining to sue under the state law that tolls the statute of limitations for certain sexual abuse crimes.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“With my bad self being twenty-six and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her,” Tyler, who referred to the girl as “Diana,” wrote. “She was a cute skinny little tomboy dressed up as Little Bo Peep. She was my heart&#8217;s desire, my partner in crimes of passion.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Holcomb claims in the lawsuit that she met Tyler at a Portland, Oregon, concert in 1973 just after turning 16. She said she went to the star’s hotel room after the show. According to the suit, the encounter began what would be a three-year, drug-fueled affair that Tyler allegedly conducted with the blessing of Holcomb’s mother.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The claims line up with Tyler’s admissions in the book that he “almost took a teen bride” whose “parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn&#8217;t get arrested if I took her out of state.” In the lawsuit, Holcomb accuses Tyler of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Holcomb claims she became pregnant in 1975, but that he pressured her into an abortion after a fire in her apartment, telling her the baby might have been injured in utero.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Holcomb later converted to Catholicism and became a pro-life activist. Holcomb appeared on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHC4d_LTExU">Fox News</a> in 2020, where she told Tucker Carlson her story.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I met Steven Tyler when I was just 16 years old, and he became my legal guardian,” she said. “He made the decision that he wanted me to have an abortion&#8230;and it didn&#8217;t really matter how I begged to keep my baby, that decision really wasn&#8217;t going to be in my hands.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Holcomb’s lawsuit was filed under the California’s Child Victims Act, a law that allowed for a three-year window, ending on Dec. 31, for filing civil suit involving alleged child sexual abuse.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years,” the band’s official statement </span><a href="https://twitter.com/Aerosmith/status/1529145918712336386"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We will continue our 2022 dates starting in September, and we&#8217;ll let you know any further updates as soon as we can. We are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who often travel great distances to experience our shows,” the announcement said.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Boston-based band includes Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, and Brad Whitford, along with Tyler. The 74-year-old rocker relapsed on pain pills after having foot surgery earlier this year, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10850609/Steven-Tyler-74-enters-rehab-relapsing-pain-pills-following-foot-surgery.html">Daily Mail</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tyler has spoken openly about his struggle with substance abuse in the past. He also entered rehab in 2009. The Aerosmith lead told </span><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/08/entertainment/steven-tyler-janies-house/index.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CNN</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> during a 2017 interview that he opened Janie&#8217;s House, a home for abused and neglected girls located in Atlanta, after meeting women in a rehab facility who were there at least in part because of being abused.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;While I was in (rehab), I found out most of women in there were battered and beaten and abused verbally and sexually in huge numbers,&#8221; he said at the time. &#8220;It was like seven out of 10, eight out of 10.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tyler, whose real name is Steven Victor Tallarico, told </span><a href="https://www.oprah.com/spirit/oprah-interviews-steven-tyler-aerosmiths-steven-tyler-interview/all"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oprah</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2012 that he actually enjoyed being sober. “Everybody said, ‘You won&#8217;t be able to handle it if you get sober.’ But I spent 12 years loving it,” the musician said at the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When you take drugs a lot, you think being on them all the time is where it&#8217;s at. It&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s about feeling experiences—like going out in the morning and watching the sunrise.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At that point, Tyler had been to rehab eight times total. He also got a little upset when Oprah mentioned she was surprised he was still alive after taking so many drugs, which he discussed in detail in his memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It used to be cool to hear that. Now it kind of hurts,” Tyler told the talk show host.</span></p>


Steven Tyler Enters Rehab For Pain Pills, Forcing Aerosmith To Cancel Vegas Residency

Las Vegas

<p>The Cohen and Manafort cases may not represent the extent of President Donald Trump&#8217;s legal troubles. Singer Steven Tyler of the band Aerosmith has issued a cease and desist letter to the White House demanding that Trump stop playing Tyler&#8217;s songs at his rallies.</p>
<p>Tuesday night, at a rally in West Virginia, the Trump team played the Aerosmith song, &#8220;Livin&#8217; on the Edge,&#8221; as people filed into their seats. Even though the song was likely hard to hear over the noise of the crowd, Tyler&#8217;s attorney said the song was recognizable enough to imply that Tyler and his band approved of its use.</p>
<p>And Tyler isn&#8217;t happy about it, <a href="https://variety.com/2018/politics/news/steven-tyler-aerosmith-trump-rally-song-cease-desist-1202913493/">according to Variety</a>.</p>
<p>The letter, sent Wednesday, cites the Lanham Act, which prohibits uses of intellectual property that carry with them &#8220;any false designation or misleading description or representation of fact &#8230; likely to cause confusion &#8230; as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words, Tyler and his band-mates are concerned that people who hear an Aerosmith song at a Trump rally might mistakenly believe the band supports the Trump agenda.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time a band has objected to a campaign using a song, but with President Trump the situation is unique since he can often afford to pay &#8220;public performance fees&#8221; that allow him to play songs at his rallies without the relevant band&#8217;s specific permission.</p>
<p>In a previous case with Aerosmith&#8217;s song, &#8220;Dream On,&#8221; performing rights organization BMI <a href="https://variety.com/2018/politics/news/steven-tyler-aerosmith-trump-rally-song-cease-desist-1202913493/">actually pulled public performance rights</a> so that Trump wouldn&#8217;t be able to purchase the song to play at his rallies after the band complained.</p>

<p>Aerosmith&#8217;s Steven Tyler responded to a video clip of him shoving a fan who was trying to take a selfie with the rock legend during a TV appearance on Wednesday by writing: &#8220;No time, bro-this is LIVE TELEVISION!&#8221;</p>
<p>Appearing on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Today,&#8221; Tyler was making his way to the stage when a fan jumped out of the crowd, put his arm around Tyler, and tried to snap a quick &#8220;selfie&#8221; photograph.</p>
<p>Tyler was not amused.</p>
<p>The famed musician quickly ducked out of the fan&#8217;s embrace and shoved him aside, appearing agitated afterward.</p>

<p>The Washington Times noted that Aerosmith announced on the show that they &#8220;are kicking off a &#8216;Deuces Are Wild&#8217; residency in Las Vegas starting April 6 at the Park Theater at MGM Grand.&#8221;</p>


WATCH: Fan Tries To Take Selfie With Steven Tyler. Tyler Wasn’t Having It.

<p>Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith and more importantly, father of <a href="https://youtu.be/fKroSTEmvzs" target="_blank">Liv Tyler</a>, just told the Trump campaign to stop using his iconic rock song &#8220;Dream On&#8221; at event rallies. </p>
<p>The Aerosmith frontman&#8217;s attorneys followed up with their second cease and desist order on Saturday, stating that The Donald does: &#8220;not have our client&#8217;s permission to use &#8216;Dream On'&#8221; or any of Tyler&#8217;s other songs&#8221; and that it &#8220;gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump&#8217;s presidential bid.&#8221;</p>
<p>Though Tyler is a registered Republican and attended the first GOP debate, his attorney continued that &#8220;the letter is not a &#8220;political&#8221; or &#8220;personal issue with Mr. Trump,&#8221; but it&#8217;s one of permission and copyright.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s response to the setback only added another layer to the song-rights controversy&#8230;</p>
