Aerosmith has cancelled its August 7 show following the August 5 stage fall taken by frontman Steven Tyler as he entertained the crowd during a sound system failure.
According to brief statements (or “tweets”) posted by guitarist Joe Perry’s wife Billie on the social networking site Twitter, there is no word on when the group will resume its tour. The band’s Web site advises fans, “Stay tuned — we will let you know what we know, as soon as we know it.”
Beginning August 7, Aerosmith was scheduled to begin a string of Canadian shows.
Following his fall on Wednesday evening, Tyler was taken to a hospital with minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury.
“He hit his head and back. No concusion [sic], stitches in head n back near shoulder. Broken shoulder. Yes he is very sore. We were all worried,” Perry tweeted, adding a bit later, “Once he left, it was difficult [sic] for people to contact one another due to bad cell service it made things even worse.”

I have been a long time fan of this band, since back in their 70’s drug days and they were messed up then. Happy to see them enjoy the great success they deserve, but have cringed the last few tours they have done, due to the problems of postponements and cancellations for various reasons. It appears that the last few tours, they are plagued with injuries or got a better deal elsewhere. Remember their recent settlement for the Hawaii show. They have had their problems playing shows in my city with postponing or canceling shows altogether more than once and consecutive tours. Have lost money on them the last two and this may be third tour in a row that we’ve had to refund the customer their money, and many shows do not always sell well after a rescheduled date, especially if the venue was postponed more than once from original date. Got my fingers crossed that the shows go on as scheduled here in California, but will not be surprised if they screw that up. They lose nothing. Sometimes do not know which is worse, spec seats from the out of area gypsies that spec seats (many cases lousy seats or rows that do not exist)kill the market for brokers in the that particular market, the TM/Livenation and their manipulations, add in the economy. Maybe you out of area do not realize our California economy is the toilet already, and you kill us more when you drop the prices on shows.
i just heard that it is doubtful that zz top will attend the rescheduled shows. that would piss off alot of fans too as they wanted to see zz top also.
I just want my money back from “postponed” show…time to move on.
