MUSIC NEWS - Prior to Aerosmith's recent show at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, rocker Steven Tyler, 61, told the press he will spend 2010 working on solo projects. "I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but it’s definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself – Brand Tyler," he told Classic Rock magazine. He also mysteriously said; "Once the band hit the final note and I walk off stage – then I’ll tell you the whole story."
As MNN previously reported, CR noted that the off-stage "drama" continues and friction between the band exists- for example, no one sees Tyler until they go on stage as his dressing room is located far away from the rest of the group.
Though they are about to reach their 40th Anniversary, Aerosmith will reportedly meet soon to discuss future plans, possibly without Tyler. "I'm not sure how good that would look, it would largely depend on who we could get and who would want to do it. That’s big shoes to fill," guitarist Brad Whitford told Classic Rock, referring to the idea of the group performing with a someone other than Tyler. "Nobody could replace Steven or imitate him – he's one of a kind. But if somebody was willing to do it and the chemistry was right, why not?" Though in Joe Perry's opinion, Tyler has quit the band. He's quoted in the Las Vegas Sun from a phone interview from his home as saying; “Steven quit as far as I can tell,” “I don’t know anymore than you do about it." See more of the LV Sun article.
