Steven Tyler Confirms Aerosmith 2017 Farewell Tour
But Tyler seemed to make it official during his Tuesday interview on “The Howard Stern Show”. “Nashville’s been so good to me in the previous year and a half”, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said in a June 8 news conference. Not long after, guitarist Joe Perry issued a statement that while a “farewell tour” was something that had been discussed for the last five years, it was not something that had been firmly decided upon. His backup band is Nashville-based Loving Mary, whose members provide the instrumentation and harmonies that help contrast Tyler’s solo material with Aerosmith’s catalog.
“I believe y’all are gonna listen to this stuff and you’re gonna agree with me that it fell from a star”, said Tyler.

The most recent Aerosmith tour to play San Diego was in 2006, when the band performed at Coors (now Sleep Train) Amphitheatre.
“We’re All Somebody From Somewhere” is the third solo single from Tyler, following “Love Is Your Name” and “Red, White & You”. I’m grateful for that.
The band is planning a farewell tour in 2017. “We’re doing a farewell tour, but that’s only because it’s time”. “Whether we do a farewell tour or go into the studio and do another record, I’m just excited about it”. As he told Rolling Stone, the move had a pronounced effect on his music.
