One of the biggest rock bands in the United States, the
award-winning group, often called "The Bad Boys from Boston" in
reference to the city where they formed in 1970, is known for
songs like "Back in the Saddle" and "Walk This Way".
The group consists of lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe
Perry and Brad Whitford, drummer Joey Kramer and bassist Tom
Hamilton.
"Aerosmith will return across the Atlantic with one of the
greatest rock shows ever seen and will undoubtedly be the
ultimate must see event of 2017 as the band embark upon this,
their 'farewell' tour, saying 'Aero-Vederci Baby!'," a statement
from the group said.
In a spoof news sketch video posted on the band's Twitter feed,
Tyler and Perry announced the European tour, with Tyler asking
"Any truth to the rumors that this could be the last hurrah?" to
which Perry replies: "Who the hell knows".
The tour will kick off in Tel Aviv in May, with the band then
heading to Georgia, Russia, Germany and performing across Europe
until early July. During the tour, Aerosmith will also play
music festivals such as Sweden Rock, France's Hellfest and the
Download Festival in Britain.
There were no immediate details for dates outside Europe.
Aerosmith recently played a series of concerts in Latin America.
