Aerosmith Cancels Tour Dates Citing Steven Tyler's 'Unexpected Medical Issues'

Tyler shared a statement from the band on Twitter Tuesday confirming the news. His statement was also posted on Aerosmith’s website.

The rocker announced that the group’s four upcoming shows in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico would be canceled.

While the statement does not include specific details about Tyler’s medical condition, the band did assure fans the singer is “expected to make a full recovery.”

“With proper treatment he will be back on his feet soon rocking the world,” the statement reads.

“I am not in a life threatening condition, but I need to deal with this right away, and get some rest and medical care immediately in order to sustain and maintain my future performances,” Tyler said in the statement. “I promise I’ll be back ...unfortunately health does not wait and it’s something even I can’t schedule around our shows.”

Love that song

Fans, friends, and, of course, the family of Steven Tyler are very concerned about the Aerosmith singer after an unspecified health issue that prompted the band to abruptly cancel the remainder of the band’s South American tour while Tyler raced back to the United States to get treatment.
There’s been no further word on his condition, but we’re told by a source close to the band that the 69-year-old singer suffered a seizure after Aerosmith’s show in Sao Paulo Monday night. It’s not clear what caused the seizure or if Tyler received a diagnosis before flying back to the States.
