A two-hour, high-intensity concert in Philadelphia on September 2 had marked the beginning of Aerosmith's farewell tour

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Iconic rock band Aerosmith had to postpone six performances of their farewell Peace Out Tour because frontman Steven Tyler sustained vocal cord damage during a performance over the weekend, extending the goodbye period for fans in six cities.

The 'Dream On' singer, 75, said in a statement, "I’m heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor’s orders not to sing for the next thirty days.
