Train can't keep rollin' as Aerosmith calls off gig

Email|Link|Comments (3) Posted by Mark Shanahan July 1, 2009 06:35 PM

Aerosmith abruptly postponed its show at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati last night. The band's publicist did not immediately respond to an email, but the venue's web site cited "an injury within the band." ZZ Top was also scheduled to perform. The band has been ailing of late, with Joe Perry recovering from knee surgery and Steven Tyler from pneumonia. Guitarist Brad Whitford has been temporarily replaced while he recovers from surgery on his head.

I blame Tyler's spaced out GF. She distracts him from his job and not in a good way! Too bad!!

What about the 7/7/09 show in Raleigh, NC ? No word on the Aerosmith website about it.
