Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler has suffered serious vocal cord damage, resulting in the postponement of six shows during the band’s farewell tour.

Tyler wrote: “I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next 30 days. I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding. We’ll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve.”
