AEROSMITH Feels "A Little Bit Abandoned" By STEVEN TYLER Solo Project
November 9, 2015, 9 years ago
Scratch Aerosmith off the list of groups planning to tour in 2016 - at least in North America, reports Gary Graff of Billboard.
The group was slated to play in both early 2016 and during the summer, but that's been put on ice by frontman Steven Tyler and his solo album plans, according to guitarist Brad Whitford. "Steven doesn't want to do it," says Whitford, who's readying a new album of his own with Ted Nugent singer/guitarist Derek St. Holmes. "It's unfortunate. We kind of feel a little bit abandoned by him. I guess he seems to think his solo career is going to go great guns, and he doesn't seem to realize that - in my opinion - his fans around the globe want to see him in the context of Aerosmith and don't really care for whatever he thinks he's gonna do. I don't know if he gets that but, hey, that's what he wants to do. I can't put a gun to his head. It's just pretty disappointing."

In July, Steven Tyler released a video for his solo track, "Love Is Your Name"; it's since been viewed over 9.5 million times on YouTube.
