1. The way him and Axl hit those high notes all those years left them both hobbled vocally

2. Nobody hits those high notes. Incredible he’s been able to all these years.

3. Saw them on the Pump tour in 1990. They were on fire.

4. [removed]

5. >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.

   Damn. Sad indeed. That has to be tough to accept and come to terms with.

   54 years is a hell of a run though.

6. Oh this is so sad. Glad I got to see them in the 2000s. Best concert ever.

7. I liked his singing in dream on. What happened to it in the 80s. Drastically changed his singing. 

8. i think there might be another reason he won’t be touring but ok they can say whatever they want

9. Didn’t Steven Tyler rape a 17 year old and adopt her from her parents? Crazy that he got away with that shit through the me too era

10. Hell of a career. Lucky enough to see them once in my life.

11. They only toured for like 60 years. He’s done enough. He earned his retirement.

12. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

13. He is 76….. he is allowed to…… it was a miracle he could sing that long in such a punishing repertoire

14. Overrated jagbags

15. And nothing of value is lost

16. Top 5 vocalist of all time , the band was awesome and they put on a hell of a show .

17. Maybe they could find someone in a karaoke bar like Journey did and continue to tour with Steven’s blessing.

18. Oh no his beautiful singing voice

19. He must have gotten that vocal injury a decade ago.

20. Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go

21. Recruit the guy from AMHband

22. Just listen to Back in The Saddle and you can hear him sound like he’s just destroying his vocals

23. Sure, he quits when his vocals go to shit, but I still gotta suffer through James LaBrie at every Dream Theater concert.

    (I may or may not be Mike Portnoy)

24. I saw them in Philly last year. His voice was definitely shot and he seemed confused

25. I’m glad I got too see them in Cincinnati or was a great concert.

26. my mom is so upset she was hoping to see them one last time. I saw them with my parents and uncle in the early 2000’s and it was a great concert. I was in middle school and my mom had to explain to me what *that* smell was lol.

27. Yo we gotta move

28. Steven Tyler is a predator who adopted an underage girl to date her, yeah Aerosmith’s got some classic tunes but no matter how good the music is it’s not worth excusing.
