Steven Tyler Performs First Show After Aerosmith Retirement, Fans Are Confused

Steven Tyler has performed live for the first time since his Aerosmith retirement. Naturally, fans are confused.

Music journalist Eddie Trunk has shared a video from a recent performance of the singer on Facebook. He captioned it with, “Video I shot last night!”

Fans shared their confusion over Tyler’s ability to sing after saying he no longer can perform. A user commented, “I thought Steven Tyler completely lost his voice?” Another added, “So why exactly did Aerosmith cancel their tour if he can perform?”

However, some loved the fact that he could still sing with no problems. “Steven Tyler, 76 years old and Kicking Ass,” another wrote. One other user added, “My impression is that there’s no way Steven Tyler can make it through a whole show.”

Tyler made his return to the stage for the first time since his vocal injury. He took to the stage at the Jam For Janie charity event on February 2.

The singer performed Extreme’s ‘More Than Words,’ Aerosmith’s ‘Toys in the Attic’ and ‘Dream On,’ ‘Sweet Emotion,’ ‘Walk This Way,’ and ‘Heartbreaker.’ The event also featured special appearances from Linda Perry, Marcus King, Jessie J, Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, and Joan Jett.

Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring in August last year after Tyler injured his vocal cords. Their ‘Peace Out’ tour started in 2023, but the band only performed three shows before canceling the rest due to the rocker’s larynx injury.
