Aerosmith cancel tour dates on advice from devastated frontman Steven Tyler, 74, doctors

Aerosmith fans have been left disappointed as the iconic rock band has cancelled the last two Las Vegas shows on their tour.

The decision comes as doctors order Steven Tyler to 'sit them out', which means the hit music band would be missing the legendary frontman.

Steven Tyler and Aerosmith have so far not disclosed the 74-year-old's health concerns, but simply said doctors have asked him to stop performing.

Speaking on their Twitter page, the band wrote: "To all our fans... We are so sorry to announce we are cancelling these last two Las Vegas Shows.

" On the advice of doctors, Steven has to sit these out. Stay healthy and we’ll see you in the new year!"

The band have already cancelled two other shows as part of their "Aerosmith: Deuces Are Wild" show at the Park MGM in Las Vegas, before cancelling their final shows.

The band aren't expected to perform again for the rest of the year, and wished fans Happy New Year.

In a social media post to their official Instagram page after cancelling their Friday and Monday shows, the band wrote: "Unfortunately tomorrow’s show, Monday December 5th, in Las Vegas has to be cancelled. Steven Tyler said "on the advice of my doctor, I’m taking more time to rest... there is nowhere we’d rather be than on stage surrounded by the greatest fans in the world.."

"We sincerely apologize."

Fans have responded to tweets and the Instagram page to send get well wishes to the lead singer Steven Tyler.

One fan wrote: "Health comes first and is the most important thing in life. I wish Steven all the best. I hope and pray that Steven recovers quickly. Warm greetings from Germany."

Another added: "Bummer! I’ve been waiting forever for this one! Hopefully 2023 brings you back to Vegas!"

A third commented: "Get well soon, Steven! God bless!!"

However some fans have expressed their disappointment at the last minute cancellation. One wrote: "They’ve been cancelling shows like this since the 80s."

Another added: "Flew out here from NC, this is the second time I have missed Aerosmith due to the last leg of the tour being cancelled. Flights and hotels aren’t covered when artist cancel and refund tickets. Very very very disappointed. One of the main reasons I rarely buy out of town tickets."

"We flew in Friday for 12/2 show & 1 hr before the show it was cancelled! Disappointed," wrote a third.
