Aerosmith Cancel Tour

Posted by on Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 10:01 AM

The rest of Aerosmith's current tour—including their Aug. 17 concert with ZZ Top at White River Amphitheatre—is canceled due to head and shoulder injuries recently sustained by vocalist Steven Tyler after a fall during a show in Sturgis, South Dakota. For information on ticket refunds, visit www.aeroforceone.com and www.livenation.com.

Per Kelly O's Up & Coming blurb in this week's paper, it just may be too late to see those hard-rock icons. But you can always "Dream On." (I need more caffeine...)

Aerosmith, ZZ Top

(White River Amphitheatre) The never-ending History of Rock train that's chuggin' through the Northwest this summer is about to make another stop at White River, this time with forever-bearded and sharply dressed super-Texans ZZ Top onboard. It's also got most-radio-friendly-American-hard-rock-band-in-the-world Aerosmith in tow. I saw Aero in 1989 with my mom and my uncle Ken. We were all secretly stoned and pretending we weren't. I wanna see Aerosmith again (not-so-secretly stoned), because rumor has it that this toured is cursed. They can't stop hurting themselves. In addition to Joe Perry's emergency knee surgery, guitarist Brad Whitford's head injury (caused, somehow, as he was getting out of his Ferrari), bassist Tom Hamilton's recent "noninvasive" surgery for who knows what... Steven Tyler just danced his way right off the stage at the annual Sturgis Bike Rally—and earned himself some head and neck injuries. See Aerosmith before it's too late! KELLY O

Please now enjoy one of Aerosmith's greatest songs.
