When it comes to Easter eggs,Aerosmithfans “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing!”
Over the last week, supporters of the band have noticed a countdown clock onAerosmith’s websiteleading up to an announcement at 10 a.m. ET Monday, as well as a handful of promotional banners popping up at music venues across the U.S.
The banners, which read the words “peace out,” have many believing that the band is just days away from announcing its curtain call in the form of a farewell tour.
AsConsequencenotes, banners have appeared at the TD Garden in Boston and the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, with fans noting that others have shown up at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and beyond.
“I don’t know if I’m not supposed to announce it or not, but we are gonna announce the tour, and it’s gonna start in September and will go into next year,” he told102.3 WBABthis month. “And being one of the guys who votes on this kind of thing, it looks like we’re gonna do it.”
Although Tyler, 74, never directly referred toseeking treatment for substance abuse, he did seem to make a nod to it at one point during the band’s first show back. “It’s either too much or too little all the time. I’m a big fan of too much,” he told a woman in the front row after she said something to him.
In May, the band said it was “devastated” to have to cancel eight shows on the famous Strip, but knew it was the right move for Tyler’s sobriety. Tyler has long battled substance abuse, and it was revealed that he relapsed following surgery for his foot.
“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years,” Aerosmith said in a social media statement at the time. “After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery.”
