Steven Tyler Has Left Aerosmith
Over the past few days, rumors have been rampant that frontman Steven Tyler has left Aerosmith to pursue a solo career. The band’s lead guitarist and co-founder, Joe Perry told a Las Vegas newspaper that he hasn’t heard from the singer since a performance in Abu Dhabi last month. “Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry told the Las Vegas Sun. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.”
Now there’s news that not only is Tyler out of the band he helmed for nearly 40 years, but Aerosmith plan on searching for a new singer to replace him.
Joe Perry tweeted on Monday evening to let fans know that “Aerosmith is definitely NOT breaking up … one of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press.” And according to another Perry tweet, the band is looking for a frontman to replace Tyler, with plans of hitting the road once again.
“Aerosmith is positively looking for a new singer to work with. You just can’t take 40 years of experience and throw it in the bin,” he wrote. “[The] band is playing hotter than ever and our songs need to be played live. Don’t despair: Aerosmith is not splitting up. Promise that’s the last you’ll hear from me on the subject ’till we gear up again.”
Can Aerosmith continue without Steven Tyler? Or should the band just hang it up and enjoy their golden years? 
Hmm.. Now I’m confused.
