Launch Radio Networks reports: Aerosmith is just one week away from their Route Of All Evil co-headlining tour with Motley Crue, but it wasn't that long ago that there were doubts about the band's future. Back in the spring, the band had to cancel a run of dates with Cheap Trick when Steven Tyler suffered some damage to one of his vocal cords, which required surgery, but now he's back and just as good as ever.
Lead guitarist Joe Perry told Launch that even though some people wondered about the future, the band members were more concerned about Tyler himself than their livelihoods. "I know how much he loves being on stage, and... I mean, Jesus, it would be... I can't imagine," he said. "It's like if a car ran over my hand, and I'm, you know, sitting back wondering if they're gonna be able to sew it back together. So of course you think about those kind of things, you know, but we were worried about him personally — as a brother first — and then how it would affect the band."
Aerosmith and the Crue get things started at the Germain Amphitheatre in Columbus, Ohio, next Tuesday (September 5)....
