Steven Tyler Won't Tour Again, Matt Sorum Confirms

Matt Sorum, former drummer of Guns N' Roses, confirmed that Aerosmith's Steven Tyler will not be returning to touring following his recent performance at the Jam For Janie charity event. Sorum explained that while Tyler's performance marked a significant moment for him after his vocal injury, he cannot handle the pressures of a full tour at 77 years old. He emphasized that Tyler, being a perfectionist, would not compromise on his vocal performance or resort to pre-recorded vocals, which he finds unacceptable. This decision follows Aerosmith's announcement in August 2024 regarding their retirement from touring due to Tyler's health issues. Fans had hoped for a potential reunion tour after seeing Tyler perform, but Sorum made it clear that the one-off performance was not indicative of a return to the road. Tyler's commitment to maintaining his artistic integrity remains a priority as he steps back from touring altogether.
