The bassist suggests that the band “could do something”, but the decision is up to the singer
The bassist of Aerosmith, Tom Hamiltoncommented on the future of the band and the state of health of Steve Tylerwho is recovering after a serious vocal cord injury during a concert in September 2023. According to Hamilton, the singer is progressing well in his recovery process, but any decision on the group’s future will depend solely on Tyler.
“Steven is doing very well with his recovery, but it is happening at his own pace.”Hamilton said in an interview on WBUR radio in Boston.
Maybe Aerosmith will do something in the future, but it’s a great if. The last thing I want to do is pressure Steven in that direction. If we do anything, it will be on his initiative.
In a previous interview, the bassist was asked how much he hoped, on a scale of one to 10, that the band would reunite. “On the scale of hope, it’s between seven and nine years. We won’t be doing any touring from now on, but I’ll always have hope that other kinds of opportunities will present themselves.”he said AARP .
“This isn’t the first time dark clouds have appeared on our horizon – and somehow the sun has managed to break out. Time and hope are all we have right now.”he added.
Aerosmith’s last show took place in September 2023, at UBS Arena, New York, during their farewell tour Peace outside. At the time, no one, not even the band, knew that this would be the last show. Following Tyler’s injury, the tour’s remaining shows were canceled and the band announced an end to live performances.
Following the announcement, several personalities expressed sadness at the end of the band’s touring. Brian Mayof Queen, said the news “brought tears to his eyes,” while Sammy Hagar he called retirement “a great loss.”
No plans for houses or replacements
Hamilton, who had already discarded the idea of a residency in Las Vegas, also commented on the possibility of continuing the band with another singer: “I can’t imagine Aerosmith having a new singer. We all have music in our future, but it will manifest itself in ways we haven’t yet planned.”
Currently, the bassist is dedicated to a new project called Enemies nearbywhich includes members like the drummer Tony Brockthe singer Chasen Hampton and the guitarists Peter Stroud AND Track Foster. The band is already preparing new songs and planning future shows.
Hamilton concluded by saying that even if Aerosmith doesn’t return to the stage, he remains hopeful for new opportunities: “This isn’t the first time dark clouds have appeared on our horizon – and somehow the sun always reappears. Time and hope are all we have right now.”
