The Bad Boys from Boston aka Aerosmith have scheduled one Canadian date on their upcoming (ahem) “Cocked, Locked, Ready To Rock” North American tour. Front man Steven Tyler, who is 62, and the rest of the I-can’t-beleive-they’re-still-vertical quintet will hit the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday August 17th along with opening act Sammy Hagar (Montrose, solo artist, ex-Van Halen frontman and now Chickenfoot frontman) and his band The Wabos. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday June 4th @ 10 am. Prices range from $59.50-$199.50.
Aerosmith’s last album was the 2005 live set “Rockin’ The Joint”, and you’d have to go back to 2001 to find their last release of all-new original material, “Just Push Play”, which featured the hit “Jaded”. It wasn’t that long ago when the future of Aerosmith was in doubt when lead guitarist Joe Perry announced he was looking for a new singer to front the band following Tyler’s stint in rehab to help treat an addiction to painkillers stemming from a fall from a stage back in August 2009. Guess they patched things up. The lure of money will do that.
No word if there’s any new music to come from the band any time soon. As mentioned above, here’s their last big hit, Jaded:
