Steven Tyler Rocks Again After Vocal Cord Injury
Rock legend Steven Tyler surprised fans with a powerful performance at Ozzy Osbourne’s “Back to the Beginning” Black Sabbath farewell concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5th. This marked Tyler’s most significant appearance since a vocal cord injury forced Aerosmith to cancel their farewell tour last year.
Tyler belted out Aerosmith’s iconic “Walk This Way” and a fiery cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” backed by a superstar ensemble including Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, producer Andrew Watt, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, and Blink-182’s Travis Barker. Photos and videos of the performance quickly circulated on social media, exciting fans and sparking speculation about Tyler’s future.
While some questioned how Tyler could perform after his injury, others pointed out the difference between a one-off show and the demands of a full tour. The performance reignited hopes for a potential Aerosmith comeback, with fans expressing their eagerness to see Tyler rock again. However, there has been no official word on whether this performance signals a return to regular touring for the band.
