Aerosmith were forced to cancel a show in Las Vegas this week, after frontman Steven Tyler was sidelined by an unspecified illness.
The legendary rockers are currently in the midst of their âDeuces Are Wildâ residency, with three shows left on the itinerary between tomorrow (December 5) and next Sunday (December 11). Thus far, theyâve performed 12 shows of the stint, all of which took place at the Dolby Live venue inside Park MGM.
In a statement posted on social media, the band explained that Fridayâs (December 4) show was cancelled due to Tyler âfeeling unwell and unable to performâ. They didnât specify exactly what the singer was battling, but noted that heâs âexpected to make a full recoveryâ in time for tomorrowâs gig.
âWe sincerely apologize for the last minute notice,â they continued, telling would-be concertgoers that tickets bought through the Ticketmaster website would be refunded automatically, while âall other refunds will be available at [the original] point of purchaseâ.

After tomorrowâs show, Aerosmith will perform their penultimate gig at Dolby Live on Thursday (December 8), before wrapping up with one last show on Sunday. The residency was announced back in March and kicked off in September, marking the bandâs first live performances since February 2020.
It was initially scheduled to begin in June, however the band cancelled the first eight shows when Tyler checked himself into a rehab clinic towards the end of May. He left rehab in July, with a representative of Aerosmith telling the press he was âdoing extremely well and looking forward to being back on stageâ.
