The final tour of North America begins on September 2, 2023 in Philadelphia and ends on January 26, 2024 in Montreal, Canada. Guest on the “Peace Out” tour is the band The Black Crowes.

Aerosmith announced their farewell with a lavish Video. In it, “Breaking News” shakes the United States, from workers to suit wearers. Stars like Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (82), rapper Eminem (50) and country legend Dolly Parton (77) are horrified in interviews. At first we don’t see what upsets her so much.

Aerosmith: End of career after more than 50 years
Singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry (72) and bassist Tom Hamilton (71) founded Aerosmith in Boston in 1970. The big breakthrough came in 1975 with the third album “Toys in the Attic” which included the song “Walk this Way”. At the end of the 1970s, the band fell into a career hole due to drug excesses.
When Run-DMC rappers covered “Walk This Way” with Aerosmith in 1986, the rockers returned to the scene. In the late 1980s and early 1990s they landed hits with songs such as “Love in an Elevator” and “Cryin”. In 1998, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” from the movie “Armageddon” hit number one on the US charts. The film song became their biggest hit.
