Aerosmith's Joe Perry on reunion rumors after Steven Tyler's career-ending throat injury
We don't want to miss a thing about this potential reunion. Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry got candid on the possibility of Aerosmith reuniting, despite the band retiring from touring in 2024, following Steven Tyler's 2023 vocal cord injury. 'I don't know, man, we're talking about it,' the band's founding member, 74, said while on SiriusXM's 'Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk' on Monday. 'Except for like, anything on the calendar, we're all alive and well. So we'll just have to see.' 8 Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. Getty Images 'I know there's got to be at least another Aerosmith gig and I'm not looking forward to putting the set list together for that one!' Perry continued. 'But we will just have to see. I've always played like every show is the last one. I hate to sound like it's a downer, but I give it up every night.' He added that he and fellow Aerosmith members, including Tyler, 77, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, all keep in contact and talk 'probably a couple of times a week.' 8 Joe Perry and Steven Tyler in 1984. Redferns Touching on the band having to cancel the remainder of their Peace Out: The Farewell Tour in 2024, the rocker said, 'The first gig we did for that tour that got canceled, we certainly felt like there was going to be another one, but s–t happens.' Radio host Eddie Trunk then asked Perry if Steve 'seems well enough' since he has been playing shows sporadically. 'I think he would [like to do a show],' Perry stated. 'I think it's just a matter of getting there. We're up there, man. It's a lot. It was interesting with COVID and everybody being home for that length of time, it was like, 'Oh, so this is how other people live.'' 8 Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. 8 Steven Tyler (R) and Joe Perry of Aerosmith perform on stage at Download Festival. Redferns via Getty Images Perry isn't used to that kind of stillness since founding the rock band in 1970. Since then, the group has released 15 studio albums and performed at over 2,000 concerts. 'Sleeping in your own bed every night and hopefully not feeling s—-y from COVID. In the beginning, it was pretty bad,' he went on. 'It really, really opens your eyes. I don't think I've gone a year without something on the calendar and having to be somewhere. So that's the bigger picture.' Perry isn't ready to quit yet, as he's set to embark on The Joe Perry Project tour this year. 8 Steven Tyler performs with band members Joe Perry, Brad Whitford andTom Hamilton on NBC Today Show. Christopher Peterson/Splash News 'I have enough left in me. I still want to do it,' he confessed. 'But right now, for this project, I'm going to be taking it out and giving it up. I'm just glad I got these guys to open up enough time to come along. So we will see what happens.' In April, Aerosmith producer Jack Douglas also opened up about the possibility of a reunion for the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers. 'I hope so,' the producer exclusively told The Post. 'I don't know, I hear rumors. But I'm sure that they would love to, you know?' 8 Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith perform onstage during Day 2 of Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest. Getty Images Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring due to Tyler's vocal injury after the singer fractured his larynx during a show in September 2023. 'As you know, Steven's voice is an instrument like no other,' Aerosmith wrote on Instagram at the time. 'He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We've seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side.' 'Sadly, it is clear that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible,' the statement continued. 'We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision — as a band of brothers — to retire from the touring stage.' 8 Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith attends the Hollywood Bowl opening night celebration in 2013. FilmMagic 8 Steven Tyler was spotted in New York City. Rick Davis / Douglas knew that Perry, at least, wouldn't slow down. 'I mean, Joe [Perry] is gonna keep rocking,' he said. 'I mean, these guys want to keep playing.' Touching on Tyler, in particular, Douglas exclaimed, 'There is no Aerosmith without Steven.' 'So if Steven can sing, believe me, he'll want to be out there.'

Rock legend to make shock guest appearance at Ozzy Osbourne's final show months after retiring due to vocal cord injury
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AEROSMITH were forced to retire early last year after frontman Steven Tyler suffered a serious vocal cord injury. The US rockers had to pull the plug on their 2023 Peace Out: The Farewell Tour and said at the time that the decision was 'devastating'.

A source said: 'Steven's injury was so bad and it has been a long road to recovery. 'He still loves performing live and has sung at a couple of charity events after they cancelled the tour. 'Playing at Ozzy's Back To The Beginning show was an offer he couldn't turn down and he will be on the line-up this summer. 'They are hoping Aerosmith guitarist] Joe Perry might be joining him too, but the final details are still being ironed out.' The line-up for Ozzy's farewell show, which will see the original Sabbath line-up reunite to perform, is out of this world for rock fans like myself. From Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Tool and Van Halen to Pantera, Guns N' Roses, Limp Bizkit, Smashing Pumpkins and Megadeth, the streets around Villa Park are going to be shaking when the concert kicks off. Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello is in place as the musical director and teased there may be even more big names to come, saying: 'There's some pretty great surprises that are not posted anywhere.' The show is being billed as 'the greatest day in the history of heavy metal' and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't counting down the days. Ozzy, who has been plagued with ill health in recent years, is currently in training to prepare for the concert, where he will perform a selection of tracks with Black Sabbath. Ozzy Osbourne fights back tears as he thanks wife Sharon for 'saving his life' in appearance at Rock N Roll Hall of Fame He said last week: 'I've got a guy living at my house who's working with me. 'It's tough — I've been laid up for such a long time. 'I've been lying on my back doing nothing, and the first thing to go is your strength. 'It's like starting all over again. 'I've got a vocal coach coming round four days a week to keep my voice going. 'I'm used to doing two hours on stage, jumping and running around. 'I don't think I'll be doing much jumping or running around this time. 'I may be sitting down, but I'll be there, and I'll do the best I can.'

In the show, Amanda and relationships expert Paul C Burnson help eight cheaters reconnect with their exes. It's been so successful since it launched just over a week ago that a second series is already in the pipeline.

And just as with Naomi's usual look, Miley was dressed to impress, wearing a leather jacket and miniskirt to arrive, before changing into a strapless snakeskin dress for a Q&A on stage.

During the event, Miley let slip that Alabama Shakes singer Brittany Howard also features on the album, and teased that the second single, More To Lose, will be out tomorrow.

And they absolutely nailed both shows – the crowds giving frontman Jamie Warden, guitarist Matthew Welsh, drummer Jonny Armstrong and bassist Liam O'Connor rave receptions. At Pavilion, where Ecko played alongside acts including DJ Annie Mac and Happy Mondays, Ewan opened up about the importance of giving up-and-coming bands and singers the opportunity to play on bigger stages, as well as ensuring tickets are not allowed to become unaffordable. He said: 'Working-class people getting priced out of things is getting worse and worse. 'I know what it is like to be skint – about five years ago I was living off my overdraft.' He added: 'Look at the Brit Awards – nearly all the winners were privately educated apart from Sam Fender. 'I feel quite alienated at these events where you'll ask someone how they got into there to perform and they'll say it's because their dad did this and that. 'I worked my buns off to get where I am.'
