Joe Perry Weighs in on Possibility of Final Aerosmith Show

Joe
Perry
said
he
and
his

Aerosmith
bandmates
haven’t
ruled
out
the
possibility
of
a
final
show,
provided

Steven
Tyler
is
well
enough
to
perform.

The
rockers
postponed
and
ultimately

canceled
their
Peace
Out
farewell
tour
after
just
three
shows
and
announced
their
retirement
from
the
road
last
August
due
to
Tyler’s
insurmountable
vocal
injury.

Tyler
has
since
performed
at
a
handful
of
private
events
—
including
an
April
performance
with
Perry
at
the

Janie’s
Fund
benefit
show
in
San
Francisco
—
and
in
a new
interview
with
Eddie
Trunk
on
SiriusXM’s
Trunk
Nation,
Perry
said
Aerosmith could
still
take
one
final
bow.

What
Did
Joe
Perry
Say
About
a
Final
Aerosmith
Show?

“We
talk
probably
a
couple
of
times
a
week,
and
we
played
together
up
at
a
charity
up
in
San
Francisco,”
Perry
said. “Chris
Robinson
was
on
the
bill
too,
and
it
was
wild
seeing
the
two
of
them
trading
licks.”

The
guitarist sounded
optimistic
about
the
prospects
of
a
final
Aerosmith
show. “We’re
talking
about
it.
I
mean,
except
for
anything
on
the
calendar,
we’re
all
alive
and
well,
so
we’ll
just
have
to
see,”
he
said. “I
know
there’s
gotta
be
at
least
another
Aerosmith
gig,
and
I’m
not
looking
forward
to
putting
the
set
list
together
for
that
one.”

As
for
whether
Tyler
would
be
up
to
the
rigors
of
a
full
concert,
Perry
said: “I
think
he
would.
I
think
it’s
just
a
matter
of
getting
there,
you
know?
I
mean,
we’re
up
there,
man.
And
it’s
a
lot.”

He
added: “I’ve
always
played
like
every
show’s
the
last
one.
I
hate
to
sound
like
it’s
a
downer,
but
I
give
it
up
every
night,
you
know?
The
first
gig
we
did
for
that
[farewell]
tour
that
got
canceled,
we
certainly
felt
like
it
was
gonna
be
another
one,
but,
you
know,
shit
happens.”

Joe
Perry
Discusses Hollywood
Vampires
Documentary and
2025
Solo
Tour

Perry
also
revealed
that

Hollywood
Vampires,
his
supergroup
with

Alice
Cooper
and

Johnny
Depp,
are
working
on
a
documentary. “I
just
saw
a
rough
cut
and
it’s
pretty
amazing,”
he
said. “Right
now
everybody’s
tied
up,
but
I
know
that
in
the
back
of
everyone’s
mind,
it’d
be
great
to
get
back
together
again.”

In
the
meantime,
Perry
is
gearing
up
for
a
brief

Joe
Perry
Project
tour
in
August.
The
all-star
lineup
includes fellow
Aerosmith guitarist Brad
Whitford and
touring
keyboardist/backing
vocalist
Buck
Johnson, Stone
Temple
Pilots bassist
Robert
DeLeo
and
drummer
Eric
Kretz,
and
the Black
Crowes‘ Chris
Robinson on
lead
vocals.

“I’ve
got
enough
left
in
me,”
Perry
said. “I
still
wanna
do
[a
final
Aerosmith
show],
but
right
now,
for
this
project,
I’m
gonna
be
taking
it
out
and
giving
it
up,
and
I’m
just
glad
I
got
these
guys
to
open
up
enough
time
to
come
along.
So,
we’ll
see
what
happens.”
