“I find it hard to believe we'll never play again. I refuse to consider it over”: Aerosmith may have retired from touring, but bassist Tom Hamilton says it might not be the end for the band

Musician Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith performs on the Sunset Cliffs Stage during the 2016 KAABOO Del Mar at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on September 17, 2016 in Del Mar, California.

Last month, Aerosmith announced they’d be retiring from touring after vocalist Steven Tyler sustained an injury while on stage that he’s not expected to fully recover from.

At the time of the injury during a gig in September 2023, the US rock icons were readying themselves to complete their farewell tour, which had to be postponed after Tyler fractured his larynx.
