BostonHerald.com has issued the following report from Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa:

AEROSMITH was on the verge of a Permanent Vacation until the feuding factions staged a pseudo-intervention to air grievances, resolve their differences and - after months of break-up threats - put the Bad Boys of Boston back together again.

“There was a lot of sort of reconciling and processing feelings and stuff,” bassist Tom Hamilton told the Track. “Everyone said how they wanted things to be in the future and it became clear that, for everybody, the coolest thing to do would be to resolve things with the band.”

Hamilton joked that he and bandmates Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer came to the February sit-down in their rehearsal studio “all lawyered up.”

“There was management there,” he said, adding that “it took a while” to get everybody to realize that the best thing for everyone was for Aerosmith to be Aerosmith.

As you may recall, the band was falling to pieces after Tyler fell off the stage in Sturgis, S.D., last summer - the culmination, sources said, of some out-of-control partying on the part of the perennial 12-Stepper.

The rest of the group vowed to go “on strike” until Tyler addressed his sobriety issues, at which point the longtime frontman announced that he wanted to take a two-year hiatus from rock ’n’ roll. That revelation prompted a return volley from Perry & Co. threatening to replace Steven with a new singer. Tyler countered that he’d sue if they did.
