Does Steven Tyler's recent issues have something to do with Aerosmith's decision to hold its farewell tour?

Aerosmith's fans wonder whether the frontman's health and legal issues would affect the band's status. Recently, the buzz resurfaced after they announced the farewell tour, Peace Out, which will begin on Sep. 2.

Steven Tyler's Health Issues, Legal Problems Explored

While the Aerosmith frontman's recent headlines could truly affect the band, the group clarified th- farewell tour would be launched to mark the band members' five decades of performing together.

The upcoming tour will feature Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, and Brad Whitford. Aerosmith's founding drummer Joey Kramer will not be part of the farewell project.

"It's not goodbye it's PEACE OUT!" the band said in a statement, per The Guardian. "Get ready and walk this way, you're going to get the best show of our lives.

The farewell tour will begin after a woman filed a lawsuit against the frontman for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager. However, Tyler and his team defended the party and said th- singer was protected by his position as her legal guardian.

They explained that it should make his actions toward her decades ago be considered legitimate, justified, and in good faith. The Torrance Superior Court continues the case.

Tyler has also been dealing with health problems. He previously canceled Aerosmith's tour dates due to "illness." While he did not reveal what exactly he felt, fans blamed his drug use and relapse after his foot surgery as the factors of the health issues.
