Aerosmith rocker hints at band’s reunion despite Steve Tyler’s retirement over health issues

Aerosmith could possibly stage a surprise reunion after frontman Steven Tyler’s painful health issues. The I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing rockers left fans devastated when they announced their retirement from concerts last year, after the 76-year-old sustained damage to his vocal cords during their Peace Out tour in 2023.

Following the news, he kept a low profile but was spotted out in LA last month, holding an ice pack to his face. In a new interview, bassist Tom Hamilton shed light on the future of the group, while also giving an update on how his bandmate’s recovery is coming along.

During an appearance on Boston radio station WBUR, the 73-year-old announced: ‘Steven’s healing process is going really, really well, but it goes at its own pace. ‘Maybe Aerosmith will do something in the future, but it’s a big “if”, and the last thing I want to be doing is to try and push Steven in that direction.

‘If we do anything in the future, it would come from him.’. Although he’s hopeful of a reunion, Tom previously dashed hopes of a full tour last August, while speaking to AARP. When asked about his hopes to reunite on a scale from 1 to 10, he said: ‘On the hope scale, I’m somewhere between 7 and 9.
‘We won’t be doing any tours from now on, but I’ll always have hope that other types of opportunities will come along. ‘This isn’t the first time black clouds have been on our horizon — and somehow the sun managed to come out. ‘Time and hope are all we have at the moment.’.
