Steven Tyler Won't Tour Again, Confirms Matt Sorum

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, aged 77, is unlikely to tour again following a recent performance at the Jam for Janie charity event, according to former Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum. Despite Tyler's return to the stage, Sorum emphasized that the pressures of a full tour would be too demanding for him due to his age and a previous vocal injury sustained in 2023. Tyler's perfectionism prevents him from using pre-recorded tracks or altering song keys, leading him to refuse any commitments that would not meet his artistic standards. Although the performance was a significant moment for Tyler, Sorum reiterated that it was a one-off event and not an indication of a possible reunion tour for Aerosmith. Fans have expressed hope for Tyler's return to touring, but Sorum's insights clarify the challenges he faces. Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring in August 2024 after Tyler's vocal cord injury.
