TAMPA, Fla. — Aerosmith is officially calling it quits from touring. The announcement came Friday in a social media post.
Anyone who purchased tickets to the remaining shows of the PEACE OUT The Farewell Tour through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded and those who bought through a third-party resale site should reach out to their point of purchase, according to the band's post.
They were scheduled to play in Tampa at Amalie Arena on February 14, 2025.
The band said that lead singer Steven Tyler has spent several months working to get his voice back to where it was before he injured himself singing, but it's now clear that isn't possible.
Because of that, they decided to retire from touring. "We have made the heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary decision—as a band of brothers—to retire from the touring stage," the band wrote.
The band expressed their gratitude and love for their fans, writing, "A final thank you to you- the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream on. You've made our dreams come true."
"He was a great inspiration to all of us, but especially I would say those that are in the minorities"
Catholics across the Tampa Bay Area are remembering the life and legacy of Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88. Father Len Plazewski, the Pastor of Christ the King Church in South Tampa, thinks his legacy will be one of joy.
