Aerosmith postpone American tour dates due to Steven Tyler vocal cord injury

The North American leg of Aerosmith's Peace Out farewell tour will take an extended break following an injury to 75-year old front-man Steven Tyler's vocal cords. Posting to the band's twitter page, Tyler explained that he had "sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday’s show that led to subsequent bleeding," announcing that the band will be postponing several shows to later dates, under "strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days."
