Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry vented frustration over Steve Tyler’s injury derailing a summer tour.
Tyler careened backward on a stage in South Dakota in August, injuring himself and forcing the tour’s cancellation.
Perry, who has been promoting his own album, said in an interview: “The tour was building up to be a great tour, and I was pretty [upset], you know.”
Perry said he had not spoken to Tyler in the past five weeks and could not provide any update on his condition. “I don’t know what’s going on with him.”
He mentioned another incident involving Tyler, saying: “I was pretty [upset], because right before that, he had pulled a muscle in his leg. And we had to take two weeks off and we missed probably seven dates.
“All I know is he’s got to get his act together. I mean, he and I haven’t written a song together alone in the same room in over 10 years, so there’s been some changes in paradigm of what Aerosmith is.”

With Steven Tyler out with a serious injury, Aerosmith is left without a lead singer and thus will not be finishing up their tour this summer. The band released a statement apologizing to fans and explaining the situation saying “Due to injuries Steven Tyler sustained last week when he fell from the stage during a concert in Sturgis, South Dakota, doctors have advised the lead singer to take the time to properly recuperate from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to his head.” Guitarist Joe Perry added to that statement saying “Words can’t express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour. We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible.”
The music industry has officially gone to the gamers. According to RockGamer, in June, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith turned out to be the bands biggest hit yet. In the games first week of sales, it generated more revenue than any Aerosmith album ever! To give you an idea, the bands latest studio release Honkin on Bobo had roughly $2 million in sales on its first week while Guitar Hero: Aerosmith grossed roughly around $25 million. Who knew that playing a glorified keytar would turn out to be so popular? Then again, everyone dreams of becoming a huge rock star. Guitar Hero makes that dream possible if even in your own living room.
