On-going repercussions of Aerosmith’s cancelled tour and the latest plans for singer-songwriter Jewel are outlined in the daily tour recap for September 1, as compiled by TicketNews.
Since the bad boys of Boston cancelled the remainder of their summer tour, questions have arisen about Aerosmith‘s intentions to perform a court-ordered free show in Maui. However, the band attorney has stepped forward to assure his clients will do all that is expected of them — pending Steven Tyler’s recuperation. The singer suffered a broken shoulder and other injuries when he toppled off-stage during an August 5 concert.
Pop-turned-country musician Jewel is going acoustic for her latest U.S. tour. Fifteen cities are on the singer-songwriter’s itinerary, which begins in late October and wraps three weeks later in November. A-list stars of the silver screen and Broadway will come together this October to perform at an Actors Fund benefit honoring Frank Loesser, who wrote music and lyrics for musicals including “Guys & Dolls” and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.”
Those are the complete concert and tour reports for this Tuesday. There are plenty of additional updates in the world of artist itineraries, though. You can find some of the highlights outlined in brief below:
