AEROSMITH FRONTMAN STEVEN TYLER HOSPITALIZED FOLLOWING MEDICAL EMERGENCY DURING TOUR REHEARSAL

NASHVILLE, TN – March 16, 2025 – Legendary Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler was hospitalized earlier today following a sudden medical emergency that occurred during a band rehearsal at a private studio in Nashville, Tennessee.

According to a statement released by Aerosmith’s public relations team, the 76-year-old rock icon experienced “severe vocal distress and respiratory complications” approximately 45 minutes into a scheduled practice session for the band’s upcoming “Peace Out” farewell tour dates. Emergency medical services were summoned to the scene at 11:23 AM local time.

Paramedics from the Nashville Fire Department transported Tyler to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he is currently undergoing evaluation by a specialist team in the hospital’s otolaryngology and critical care units. The nature and severity of the specific medical event have not been officially disclosed, though sources close to the band indicate it is not believed to be life-threatening at this time.

How this occurred is under investigation, but initial reports suggest the incident may be linked to a pre-existing condition related to Tyler’s vocal cords, which has previously forced tour postponements. The band was scheduled to perform a warm-up show in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 22.

“On behalf of the entire Aerosmith family, Steven Tyler is receiving the highest level of medical care,” the official statement read. “All upcoming tour obligations will be postponed until further notice. We ask for privacy for Steven and his family during this time.”

Fans and industry figures have begun to flood social media with messages of support. The announcement follows a history of on-stage and off-stage health incidents for Tyler, including a broken foot in 2022 and a relapse treatment for addiction in 2023.
