Last August, Aerosmith dramatically announced their retirement from touring, citing frontman Steven Tyler's ongoing vocal injury as the primary reason for the abrupt decision.

Over this past weekend (February 2), however, Tyler returned to the stage for a mini-set at a fundraiser for the Janie’s Fund foundation at the Hollywood Palladium.
