Why Is Aerosmith Postponing Shows?

Basically, lead singer Steven Tyler pushed his voice a little too far during a show on Long Island over the weekend. Crazy, we know.

Tyler released the following statement following a visit with his physician:

To all our fans…I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days. 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.

Sometimes a little vocal rest is what it takes.

Aerosmith Albums Ranked

Any worst-to-best ranking of Aerosmith must deal with two distinct eras: their sleazy '70s work and the slicker, more successful '80s comeback. But which one was better?
