Joe Perry still thinks Aerosmith has a final show left in them, but it likely won’t be a part of a farewell concert tour. In August 2025, the founding guitarist spoke out to WBUR, where he reiterated that his longtime band could take the stage for a one-off grand finale.

Steven Tyler fractured his larynx during a show in September 2023, and Aerosmith announced its retirement from touring in August 2024. Now, Joe Perry is opening up about whether or not the band will really ever perform again.

The Joe Perry Project is the Aerosmith guitarist's perennial Plan B. It's a band he’s put together several times starting in 1979. This time, the group heads out for a multi-city tour with the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson as lead singer.
