Aerosmith have been pressured to postpone a number of dates on their farewell tour only a week after kicking off, after frontman Steven Tyler injured his vocal cords throughout a gig.

The rock veterans began the Peace Out tour in Philadelphia on 2 September and have been taking part in in New York when Tyler, 75, sustained the injury to his voice on Saturday night time.

"I'm heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor's orders not to sing for the next 30 days," the singer posted to a few million followers on Aerosmith's Instagram web page.

"I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday's show that led to subsequent bleeding. We'll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve."

Formed in Boston in 1970, Aerosmith are recognized for hits together with Dream On, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Cryin', Crazy, and I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

Tyler is well-known for his big selection and has been dubbed the "Demon of Screamin" for his vocal theatrics.

Aerosmith introduced their ultimate tour in May, writing in a press release: "After 50 years, 10 world excursions, and taking part in for over 100 million followers... It's time for one final go!

"Fans will see some of the important American rock bands in historical past one final time throughout this not-to-be-missed ultimate tour. Every night time will rejoice the 5 many years of Aerosmith's groundbreaking hits as they rejoice 50 years as America's biggest rock band...

"It's not goodbye it's PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you're going to get the best show of our lives."

The 40-date tour was set to incorporate a present within the band's hometown of Boston on New Year's Eve, with the ultimate gig initially scheduled for 26 January 2024 in Montreal, Canada.

New dates will happen in Detroit; Chicago; Washington DC; Toronto, Canada; Raleigh, in North Carolina; and Cleveland, Ohio, between 29 January and 29 February 2024.
