On May 1, 2023, Aerosmith announced the farewell tour on
Instagram stating, "PEACE OUT! After 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for over 100 million fans… It's time for one last go!" A video announcement about the tour was also made featuring celebrities such as
Terry Crews,
Ringo Starr,
Eminem,
Kelly Clarkson,
Slash,
Bill Burr,
Dolly Parton and others all in disbelief about the farewell tour.
Joey Kramer will not be a part of this tour to "focus his full attention on his family and health." The band initially postponed several shows on their tour on September 11, 2023, after Tyler suffered vocal cord damage and received doctors' orders not to sing for at least 30 days, but further postponed their tour to 2024 after Tyler's vocal injury was found to be worse than initially thought. On April 10, 2024, the band announced 39 all-new dates for the tour. The Black Crowes are set to return as the tour's opening act, and the tour was scheduled to begin in Pittsburgh on September 20, 2024. On August 2, 2024 the tour was canceled and the band announced their immediate retirement from touring due to Tyler being unable to recover from his vocal cord injury. ==Show synopsis==
