This was the setlist of the final Aerosmith concert

Aerosmith had to postpone their farewell tour due to Steven Tyler’s vocal injury last year but the band now announced that they decided to retire from touring since the singer won’t be able to recover from that injury. Their final concert happened last September 9, 2023 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York and they played 18 songs.

In their final concert, the band was formed by Steven Tyler (Vocals), Joe Perry (Guitar), Tom Hamilton (Bass), Brad Whitford (Guitar) and John Douglas (Touring drummer). The original drummer Joey Kramer was not a member of the band during these last years. He decided to not be part of their shows due to personal reasons and sometime later his wife sadly passed away.

Read their complete statement about retiring from touring:

“It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.”

“It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.”

“We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision – as a band of brothers – to retire from the touring stage.”

They continued:

“We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible. A final thank you to you – the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.”
