Steven Tyler quits Aerosmith after 40 years

-
Hollyscoop – After 40 years, Steven Tyler has decided to part ways from the band that made him a household name.

According to Aerosmith’s
guitarist Joe Perry, Tyler has quit the band and isn’t on speaking terms with anybody.

He tells the Las Vegas Sun, “Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.”

Perry blames Tyler’s lack of communication for the split saying, “He’s notorious for that. That’s one thing I’ve learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles.

“Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him canceling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn’t want to call him out or anything and get him anymore p**sed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie.

“So we did the gigs and, like I said, I got off the plane and saw this online. That’s how I know about it… He has had no contact with me or the other band members.”
