BODY:
WHAT: Legendary Aerosmith lead vocalist Steven Tyler has suffered a vocal cord hemorrhage, resulting in significant damage to his larynx and requiring a mandatory period of complete vocal rest.
WHO: The incident involves Steven Tyler, the 75-year-old frontman of the multi-platinum rock band Aerosmith.
WHERE: The injury was diagnosed by medical personnel in Boston, Massachusetts, following the band’s final scheduled performance in North America.

WHY: According to a statement released by the band’s official publicist, the hemorrhage was the result of “severe vocal strain” sustained during a high-energy performance. Medical specialists have mandated that Mr. Tyler abstain from any singing or speaking for an indefinite period to prevent permanent damage to his vocal folds.
