AEROSMITH REGRETFULLY ANNOUNCE CANCELLATION OF THE REMAINDER OF THEIR SUMMER TOUR

It is with great regret that AEROSMITH are canceling the remainder of their summer tour, it was announced today.

Due to injuries STEVEN TYLER sustained last week when he fell from the stage during a concert in Sturgis, SD, doctors have advised the lead singer to take the time to properly recuperate from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to his head. In his current condition, TYLER is unable to tour and the band wants to give him time to get healthy.

Ticket refunds for the rest of the tour dates with special guests ZZ Top will be available at point of purchase.

Dear Aerosmith Ticket Holder:

Please be advised that, due to the recent injuries sustained by lead singer Steven Tyler, the Aerosmith concert performance originally scheduled for Monday, September 14, 2009 at Madison Square Garden has been cancelled.

Tickets ordered through Ticketmaster Phones or Ticketmaster Online will be automatically credited to the purchaser?s credit card account.

Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster Outlets or through Madison Square Garden?s Box Office must be returned to the original point of purchase for a full refund.>br>
For further information, you may visit www.ticketmaster.com or www.thegarden.com for updates.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and look forward to your continued patronage of Madison Square Garden.

TYLER fell from the stage during the August 5 show that was part of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Western South Dakota. The mishap occurred while he was dancing during the band's "Love in an Elevator." TYLER was subsequently airlifted to a hospital and then returned to Boston to consult with his own doctors.

AEROSMITH--STEVEN TYLER (vocals), JOE PERRY (guitar), BRAD WHITFORD (guitar), TOM HAMILTON (bass) and JOEY KRAMER (drums)--want to thank all their fans for their incredible ongoing support and understanding at this time.

"Words can't express the sadness I feel for having to cancel this tour," says JOE PERRY. "I would like to thank our loyal fans for sticking by us through thick and thin and all the good energy they are sending our way. We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible. I sure am going to miss playing with ZZ Top just as I'm sure the fans are going to miss seeing them playing with us as well. Hope to see you sooner than later." JOE adds, "My hat?s off to our crew for putting up with this crazy stop and start tour. In my estimation, it was one of the best looking and best run tours we've ever had. Us road dawgs will meet again. May your wheels keep turning and your load in's stay smooth."

"All of us here in the AEROSMITH organization and all of the people who contribute to making our shows possible are in a state of shock," BRAD WHITFORD says. "We never anticipated this tour coming to such a swift and unfortunate ending. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steven for a speedy recovery and return to good health."
