I’ve been spending a lot of time with Steven, and he just doesn’t want to tour”: Joe Perry returns to the stage with members of STP and The Black Crowes, while leaving the door open for one more Aerosmith show

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has reignited the stage with his solo venture, The Joe Perry Project, delivering two electrifying performances in Florida. Fronted by Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes and featuring Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots on bass, the lineup also includes Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford on guitar, Buck Johnson on keys, and Jason Sutter on drums.

In light of Steven Tyler’s health issues, touring with Aerosmith is off the table—but Perry hasn’t completely shut the door. Though Tyler “just doesn’t want to tour and can’t,” Perry admitted in an interview that “there’s been talk about doing a documentary,” and “I would bet that there’s an Aerosmith show left.”

Key Highlights

Summary

The Joe Perry Project is back with a star-studded lineup, offering fans revitalized classic rock energy. Meanwhile, while Aerosmith’s touring chapter may have closed, Perry suggests that one final performance—perhaps in connection with a documentary—remains a possibility, leaving fans hopeful for a memorable coda.
