According to Reuters blog, Aerosmith has been forced to cancel at least 3 shows on their current tour with ZZ Top.
In the latest development singer Steven Tyler, 61, has been hobbled by an unspecified injury, putting the kibosh on Cincinnati (July 1), Hershey, Pa. (July 3) and Virginia Beach, Va. (July 5).

Steven Tyler

Guitarist Joe Perry sent out a Twitter message on Friday expressing “sincere apologies,” and asking fans to pray for Tyler’s speedy return. “It really bums me out too — you have no idea,” he said.

Guitarist Brad Whitford has had to sit out the tour following surgery after hitting his head getting out of his Ferrari. (?!!)- Editors note: WTF? Getting out of his Ferrari?
Brad is scheduled to return to the band’s tour on July 7 if Tyler is better.
Fans have said Tyler appeared to pull a leg muscle at the band’s last show, on Monday. Tyler has been troubled by his feet: In May 2008, he checked into rehab saying he needed “a safe environment to recuperate” following a series of painful foot surgeries. In 2006, the band was forced to cancel the remaining dates on a tour so that Tyler could undergo throat surgery.
Come on Steven! Do the shows anyway!
I saw Nazareth perform when Dan McCafferty was injured. He played the entire show seated and it was fantastic. I would not mind seeing Tyler performing in a chair either.
