Happy Birthday to you for Joe Perry - meant to add before - though I would be a tiny bit disappointed one of my 19 songs was counted as Happy Birthday to You.

Equivalent of Mary had a little Lamb - but I'm being pedantic; Tyler's voice, at 75, singing in the original key, on some incredibly challenging songs vocally, is, well quite outstanding

Bright Light @#$%& Fright!!!!

Well, that didn't take long:

"Areosmith postpone Toronto show due to Steven Tyler's Vocal Cord Damage"

5 US dates also postponed.

Got a funny feeling this North American tour is it for Aerosmith...

That seems to come with a price. It annoyed me for a long time when Mick started to sing with less effort since Voodoo tour (or even Steel Wheels?) to save his voice, but he obviously did the right move. Mick’s voice is still in very good shape compared to a lot of his peers: Macca, Daltrey, Stewart, etc.

A good spot, Mick definitely lost his snarl / growl around that time. But his consistency since then has been pretty good annd I don’t miss it ant the shows. And then just seen the news about the postponement 3 shows in for Stevie. At least it’s not a rehab stint!

Mick's voice definitely has gotten thinner, but not croaky like Daltrey or warbley like Macca.

Still, Roger and Paul gave 110% every night until they couldn't anymore, while Mick played it safe. Who's more rock and roll?

Much respect for Tyler and Aerosmith for actually postponing due to voice issues instead of just using a ton of backing tracks like another certain not to be named 70's band touring right now.

Shit!

Steven 'Postponed' Tyler.

If he's not in rehab, or falling off the stage, then he's overtaxing himself onstage. Wotta guy.

Don't forget to cancel your Hotel reservation!

Wow, that is usually caused by an impact injury.

I was wondering about that. Fractured larynx seemed extreme.
