Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler suffered vocal cord damage over the weekend, causing the group to postpone the remaining September concerts in their farewell tour.
“I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days,” Tyler, 75, said in a statement released by the band on Monday. “I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”
