Aerosmith’s Joe Perry Teases Possible Reunion Concert

Joe Perry reveals Aerosmith is “talking about” reuniting for another show, igniting hope for fans despite past retirement.

Aerosmith Considering One More Gig?

Joe Perry recently opened up about the legendary rock band Aerosmith possibly reuniting for one final concert. After officially retiring from touring due to Steven Tyler’s vocal cord injury, the idea of a comeback seemed unlikely – but Perry’s latest comments suggest the band members are at least chatting about it.

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on stage together

Back in August last year, Aerosmith stunned fans by announcing an abrupt retirement from touring after Tyler suffered a serious vocal cord injury. Their farewell ‘Peace Out’ tour launched in 2023 but only included three shows before being cut short.

Steven Tyler’s Encouraging Stage Returns

Despite the retirement, Tyler made a heartwarming return to the stage in February, performing Aerosmith classics like Walk This Way, Dream On, and Sweet Emotion at a charity event. This moment was followed by another event in April where Tyler and Perry reunited on stage after two years apart, sparking speculation about what’s next for the band.

Perry’s Sirius XM Interview: “We’re Talking About It”

In a recent chat on Sirius XM’s Trunk Nation, Perry expressed cautious optimism about another Aerosmith show happening sometime down the road:

“We’re talking about it. I mean, except for like, anything on the calendar, we’re all alive and well, so, you know, we’ll just have to see. I know there’s gotta be at least another Aerosmith gig, and I’m not looking forward to putting the set list together for that one, but I don’t know, man. We’ll just have to see.”
– Joe Perry

He also addressed concerns about Tyler’s readiness to handle a full show physically:

“You know, I think he would. I think it’s just a matter of getting there.”
– Joe Perry

Recent Public Appearances Fuel Hope

Tyler’s most recent big stage appearance was at the Black Sabbath ‘Back To The Beginning’ farewell show, where he jammed with icons like Ronnie Wood and Travis Barker on songs such as Train Kept A Rollin’, Walk This Way, and Whole Lotta Love. These performances suggest Tyler is regaining strength and confidence to perform again.

Famous Fans React to Aerosmith’s Retirement

The news of Aerosmith’s touring retirement hit the music world hard, with legendary artists expressing their feelings:

• Queen’s Brian May said the announcement “brought a tear” to his eye.
• Sammy Hagar praised Tyler and called the band’s retirement “a great loss.”

Fans still have the chance to relive Aerosmith’s final shows, as the band’s last concert was uploaded to YouTube in stunning 4K quality.

Health Challenges and Reality Checks

However, not everyone shares the same optimism. Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, a close friend of Tyler, expressed doubts about another full tour:

“Steven cannot put himself under the rigours of doing a full worldwide tour because there’s a lot of pressure. And if you’re not a singer, you wouldn’t understand what he goes through, but he’s 77 years old and he’s a perfectionist. And if he doesn’t sing correctly, it bothers him.”
– Matt Sorum

This reality highlights the physical and emotional challenges Tyler faces as he approaches his late seventies.
