According to Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, the front man of the band Steven Tyler may have left the 39-year-old music group. Another member of the band, Brad Whitford, added to the rumor mill by saying whoever replaces Tyler will have “big shoes to fill.” Some are speculating that the possible split is because Tyler wants to work on his solo career. In an interview with Classic Rock magazine, Tyler said he didn’t know what his next step was “but it's definitely going to be something Steven Tyler, working on the brand of myself — Brand Tyler."
The band is less than a year away from its 40th anniversary. It seems a little late for Tyler to be making such a big change in his career. I’m sure he would be successful with a solo album, but Aerosmith is one of those great classic bands. It’s a shame to break it up now when it is so close to a huge milestone. I also have to wonder if the cause of this possible split is because Tyler fell off stage during a performance in South Dakota earlier this year. He suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries. Aerosmith had to cancel the rest of their concerts after the incident. Maybe Tyler is realizing he is a little old to be a rock star, and it is time to throw in the towel. Thoughts?
Don't get me wrong, I love Steven Tyler-- but it's probably about time for him to focus on some other things.
