Aerosmith is canceling a set of shows that would have kicked off the 52-year-old band’s residency in Las Vegas.
The classic rock giants made the announcement on Instagram, blaming 74-year-old singer Steven Tyler’s struggles with addiction for the change in plans.
“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years,” the band wrote. “After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery.”
