Drummer JOEY KRAMER On AEROSMITH Breakup Rumors - “We’ve Been Kicking The Idea, But A Final Decision Hasn’t Been Made”

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer is featured in a new interview with Rolling Stone, in which he discusses his Joey Kramer's Rockin' And Roastin' coffee business, Steven Tyler’s country career, Joe Perry’s health, and the ongoing Aerosmith breakup rumors.

In 2014, Kramer fell onstage during an Aerosmith concert, suffering a heart issue that turned out to be chronic and resulted in surgery.

"It surprised the shit out of me when it happened," Kramer says. "I exercise every day, I'm conscientious about my health. I thought it was heartburn or indigestion. We're not 25-year-olds anymore - we can't play as many shows as we used to. Steven can't sing two nights in a row or three to four nights a week - it's physically impossible. So it becomes a question of going out [on tour] less than we used to, or not doing it at all."

"Aerosmith is all of our first loves, but I also don't know many other people who have consistently done the same job for 45 years," said Kramer. "As we're getting older, we've been kicking the idea [to end the band], but a final decision hasn't been made."
