Queen’s Brian May Bids Emotional Farewell To Aerosmith: ‘One Of The Most Awesome Bands To Ever Hit A Stage’

by

As a lifetime lover of rock music and a fellow artist who has walked the same stages, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of nostalgia and sadness upon hearing Aerosmith’s decision to retire from touring. The band, with their electrifying energy and unforgettable hits, has been an integral part of my life and the lives of millions of rock fans around the globe.

Brian May, in a heartfelt goodbye, is saying adieu to the iconic rock band Aerosmith, who announced their decision to cease touring on Friday, August 2, as a result of lead singer Steven Tyler’s irreversible vocal issues.

On the same day, Queen musician, aged 77, posted a touching message on Instagram, stating that the news made him shed tears. He expressed that Aerosmith has been a significant part of his life and millions of rock music enthusiasts as well. In his post’s caption, he acknowledged Steven Tyler as one of the greatest frontmen ever, lamenting the fact that Tyler’s remarkable voice has suffered damage. This is a heartbreaking loss for him, as depicted in the Instagram post which displayed Aerosmith’s official retirement announcement picture.

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but exclaim that the career journey of my rock idols is simply something to cherish for eternity! Even when all the fleeting moments fade away, one constant will remain – the extraordinary work of this legendary group. It all started way back in 1970, right here in Boston, where they first took the stage. Aerosmith, without a doubt, is one of the most awe-inspiring bands to have ever graced a stage! That’s my take on it.

Last week, The I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing band announced they were ending their performances, marking a year since Tyler, who is now 76, sustained a larynx fracture during a show in September 2023. In a heartfelt farewell statement, the band shared that despite Tyler receiving top-notch medical care and making efforts to regain his voice to its pre-injury state over the past few months, they reluctantly accepted the fact that his vocal abilities may not fully recover.

Aerosmith embarked on their final tour, titled “Peace Out,” but were forced to pause performances in September and ultimately cancel the rest of the tour on August 2.

The team expressed their appreciation to their loyal fans for standing by them during their five-decade journey, stating it was a privilege to integrate their music into the lives of their supporters. “Blast our tunes far and wide, forever and ever. Keep dreaming. You’ve brought our dreams to life,” the group emphasized before wrapping up their lengthy message.

Tyler has been getting better since September. During his 5th annual Grammy viewing party on February 4, he mentioned his progress himself by stating, “My throat has improved significantly, and it continues to heal.”

On the same day, his daughter Mia Tyler shared with People that her father is “doing a lot better,” but noted that he continues to talk, despite medical professionals recommending otherwise. With a chuckle, she stated, “You just can’t get him to stop talking—he never stops chattering.” She then assured everyone that he remains in good health.

Those who hold tickets for Aerosmith’s concerts can request a refund, according to the band’s announcement about their retirement.
