Boston's favorite AARP rockers continue to generate headlines to confirm their status as music icons. As Steven Tyler's fall-induced hiatus has Aerosmith in limbo, Perry and the boys are reportedly looking for a new singer. If Sammy Hagar really did say no to Tyler's gig, could the search turn to a woman? more ›

With news percolating recently about Aerosmith possibly replacing all-everything frontman Steven Tyler as he deals with his ever present demons, it's no surprise his name popped up in the news. When your musical cohort of 40 years says "We're gonna find somebody to get in there and fill that spot," which Joe Perry reportedly said and is actually doing, it essentially requires a response. But, Tyler responded by serenading the Rancho Mirage, California Home Depot over the loudspeaker. Tyler supposedly treated the "audience" to some classic Aerosmith tunes, and even "performed" after inhaling helium to sound like a Chipmunk. Tyler also sang karaoke at a Palm Springs, California pub. It's either going to make a trashtastic reality show, or a crappy video. more ›

Aerosmith will return to the performing saddle much sooner than expected thanks to a court order stemming from a lawsuit over a canceled tour date in 2007 in Maui. The settlement requires the band to perform two shows in the Aloha State, October 18 and 20, that are required to be consistent with a typical Aerosmith gig. Someone named Brandee Faria said "They know they can't come out and do a 30-minute gig...because I'll be there watching." Ms. Faria was a councilor for the suit, and not a music critic. At RollingStone.com, where they know more about concerts than Ms. Faria, Joe Perry confirmed that Aerosmith will be back despite rumors of turmoil within the band following Steven Tyler's fall and resulting tour-date cancellations. more ›

You saw the YouTube video of Steven Tyler, right? No, not the video of his shoulder-cracking fall. The video of him shopping at Pembroke Center Liquors and looking like a frail elderly woman. The fall at Sturgis earlier this month, and his physical appearance, is causing concern about the 61-year old rocker to a degree that the rest of Aerosmith is united against Tyler in a passive-aggressive fued that screams rock star, at least that's what the nameless sources allegedly connected to the band tell the Herald's Inside Track. more ›
