Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer has "regrettably made the decision to sit out the band's concerts in 2022 so he can focus his full attention on his family during these uncertain times," according to a statement from the band. Kramer was estranged from Aerosmith in 2019 but returned in 2020.
Oh, that sucks. And what a statement. Why can't they just be honest? After 2 years of sitting around one would think that getting out of the house would be something to look forward to. And which family needs the "full attention" of their grand dad?? Sounds like a horror movie to me.

Keep in mind... personal damage is personal damage. As a absurd as it appears that Aerosmith gave him a hard time in 2019... You see how that turns.
Maybe they were right.
Just as with any band, the love of members, etc - it's a band. The band has to go on.
It is squirrely but, maybe factoring ego aside, they're basically Boston, not New York City or Amsterdam or London, Miami, Los Angeles or New Orleans. It's WAY different it seems.
And Boston is weird.

Mentioned earlier, they don't owe us anything, and can do what they want. This is still going to be good. We were spoiled, absolutely spoiled.

A band needs to know when to call it a day. If you are playing a Las Vegas residency you know that time has come.
It has been one hell of a ride, but it's over.....

I've seen Elton John, Rod Stewart & Van Morrison residency shows in Vegas & all have been quite good in varying degrees. Van was sublime but I wouldn't necessarily classify him as rock. Rod was fun & Elton John was a sneak preview of the farewell tour. His voice was a little shot but he told great stories & the band was top notch. It was enough where I didn't feel too bad about missing the tour. I also saw Santana @ the House of Blues. He was pretty good albeit a bit on the jammy side for my tastes. The guitar player from Indigenous came out & played a few songs with him which was pretty good.

As much fun as people make of the Stones being Vegas, obviously it has nothing to do with being over, just predictable and playing it safe.
Although "playing Vegas" was perceived as being over, that's not true anymore.
Going by that logic, Billy Joel playing 73 sold out MSG residencies prior to COVID would indicate he's over. He's playing there again multiple times this year while touring.

Just to be sure... You are equating playing 73 shows in New York over, what, 45 years, to playing in a casino in the middle of desert for 3+ months in row?
I just don't follow that, but perhaps I misunderstood?
If you have to explain it, it ain't funny.Quote

Oh, FFS, get off your high horse. It's a pun on one of their hits.

CLOSE family? Like his wife? Just saying; family doesn’t have to be kids or their kids. But it’s delayed now anyways

Well. That wife could come along. But whatever. Don't matter now. And the european tour wouldn't have hapened. Either way.
