bodySpinner dug up an interesting tidbit from a recent interview in 'Classic Rock' magazine about what's happening with Aerosmith. We've been following their story since the outset of their seemingly cursed tour, one that ran in fits and starts while bandmembers recovered from injury or illness. It all came to a crashing halt when frontman Steven Tyler was seriously hurt after falling offstage. Since then, guitarist Joe Perry has been very vocal about the possibility that Tyler's days with Aerosmith may be numbered.
Now it sounds like Tyler might welcome that opportunity. He told 'Classic Rock,' "I don't know what I'm doing yet, but it's definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself -- Brand Tyler," which sounds like a cross between a marketing ploy and a rehab mantra.
But that doesn't mean that the music will stop. There's talk that the remaining members may find a new lead singer, like fellow rock dinosaurs Journey and Queen. Brad Whitford said, 'I'm not sure how good that would look, it would largely depend on who we could get and who would want to do it.'
Sounds like a great opportunity for Gary Cherone to step into the breach! If he can put up with the Van Halen brothers, singing for Aerosmith should be a cinch!

For even the band to consider replacing Steven Tyler as lead singer is a joke and lack of respect for Aerosmith fans that have stuck with the band all these years. As sad as it would be Aerosmith coming to an end go out with some dignity.

His fault, Joe's fault, the band's fault, nobody's fault, if they're breaking up than do so ! Don't try to replace Steven! Create a new band with a new singer with a new band name !!!

I agree with the rest. I've seen the Beantown Boys 9 times, and while the music is great, perhaps it's just time to hang up the hat and call it a career. Would be better to hang it up than try to pretend that it's Aerosmith when Steven is not there. THAT might be embarrassing.

It's just to bad; so sad for Aerosmith; the music business is not a pleasant one to be in. Other national acts have replaced their frontman and have still made it for the big show. It's just Aerosmith's turn, that sucks cuz I've been a huge fan of theirs since the mid 70's.
