Rock icon returns to stage for show after retiring

Steven Tyler made a return to the stage over the weekend, just months after retiring.

The Aerosmith front man hit the stage for Tyler’s sixth annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles, marking his first appearance since September.

Tyler, joined by Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, performed, per Billboard, with Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt and the six-song set featured a rendition of Aerosmith’s “Toys in the Attic,” Extreme’s “More Than Words” with Mick Fleetwood, and “Dream On” with Lainey Wilson.

Per the report, he was joined by Hamilton and the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson for performances of “Sweet Emotion,” and “Walk This Way.” He then closed out with a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker.”

The performance was Tyler’s second since his vocal injury.

Tyler fractured his larynx, necessitating the postponement of shows on their Peace Out tour. in September. The shows were canceled when the band announced their retirement from touring in August 2024.
