Aerosmith fans will be thrilled with the news that frontman Steven Tyler is still with the band, but things still seem complicated.
Tyler surprised everyone Tuesday night by appearing on stage in New York at a concert by Joe Perry, the Aerosmith guitarist. After the show, Tyler told the crowd, "I just want New York to know that I’m not leaving Aerosmith. The breakup – it just ain’t true."
It seems that discussions between the two musicians brought about a change in Tyler’s plans, although Tyler added, "Joe Perry, you are a man of many colours. But I, motherf*****, am the rainbow!"
When asked by Rolling Stone magazine about his unplanned appearance at Perry’s show, the guitarist said, "He wants to take two years off from the band. The rest of the band wants to keep on working. We have so many different options to fill up that time. Anything is possible at this point."
Obviously, the band doesn’t want to take a break, and though the members are all over the age of 57, they still feel like they have their entire lives ahead of them. They want to make the most of their musical talents and push on, however Tyler, the oldest band member at 61, doesn’t share their view.
It still remains unclear for the future of Aerosmith, but for now, Tyler insists that they are together.
