Aerosmith has cancelled the remainder of its "Peace Out" farewell tour, including a Valentine's Day stop at Tampa's Amalie Arena.

The four-time Grammy-winning band wrote last Friday that its members had made the "difficult, but necessary" call to retire from touring due to 76-year-old singer Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury. That injury, suffered in late 2023, postponed the group's farewell tour, forcing the rescheduling of multiple dates, including the one in Tampa

"As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury," the band said in its statement. "We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible."

Aerosmith thanked its supporters, which the band called the "best fans on planet Earth."

Ticketmaster plans to fully refund ticket purchases for the canceled shows, according to multiple media reports.

The Black Crowes, who were supposed to open for Aerosmith in Tampa, now have a show happening Wednesday, Feb. 12 at Mahaffey Theater.
