Joe Perry of Aerosmith : Band not break
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said the legendary rock band is not breaking up – even if they need a new singer.
Perry said the Twitter micro-blogging site late Monday, Aerosmith is not “split”, but “looking for a new singer to work with” between speculation on the future of the band and the role of frontman Steven Tyler.
Tyler was quoted as saying he is considering a solo career.
Perry said Monday on WKXL, a radio station in Concord, New Hampshire, that Tyler did not communicate his intentions with anyone in the group and found that only want to Tyler after going online.
Tyler could not immediately be reached for comment.
The 61-year-old Tyler was injured when he fell at a August 5 during a performance in South Dakota, and the band has canceled the rest of her summer tour.
“After the tour was canceled, he just had to drift off and do other things. We would hear things from different people. He did not speak directly to anyone in the band,” said Perry WKXL, referring to Tyler. “So basically, he just made the announcement that he was taking a break.”
