Has Steven Tyler Quit Aerosmith?

According to rumors circulating on the web, Steven Tyler has left Aerosmith.

Guitarist Joe Perry told the Las Vegas Sun, “Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it,” Perry continues. “I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.”

And what about the future of Aerosmith? Perry states that the band will continue on.

“Aerosmith is such a powerful band. You can’t disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. It’s not about replacing Steve – it’s four guys who play extremely well together, and I’m not going to see that go to waste. I don’t know what path it’s going to take at this point, but we’ll probably find someone to sing where we need a singer, and then we’ll be able to move the vibe up a notch.”

The relationship between Tyler and Perry seemed to have taken a turn for the worse a few months ago after Aerosmith was forced to cancel the remainder of their tour when Tyler fell and hurt himself during a show.

Later in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, Tyler stated that his next project was unclear, “but it’s definitely going to be something Steven Tyler, working on the brand of myself – Brand Tyler.”
