Throat Surgery
On March 22, 2006, the Washington Post reported that Tyler would undergo surgery for an "undisclosed medical condition." A statement from Tyler's publicist read in part, "Despite Aerosmith's desire to keep the tour going as long as possible, [Tyler's] doctors advised him not to continue performing to give his voice time to recover." Aerosmith's remaining North American tour dates in 2006 were cancelled as a result.
The surgery, done to correct a popped blood vessel in his throat, was a success. After a few weeks of rest, Steven Tyler and the rest of Aerosmith entered the studio on May 20, 2006 to begin work on their new album. A tour will launch later in fall 2006 with Mötley Crüe, titled the Route of All Evil Tour.

Dude, I was all over this case when it happened, 'cos I had just bought tickets to see them in Peoria for my birthday (Thier opening act was gonna be Cheap Trick, too!) & the whole tour was cancelled!
Allegedly, Mr. Tyler had strained his vocal chords after a long & relentless tour schedule & a recent bought with the flu. He was scheduled for throught surgery the following week, & would be on full vocal rest for an extended period of time.
A couple months ago, I heard on the radio that his surgery was successful, & that he was finaly off vocal rest & planing the next tour with Aerosmith.
Unfortunately, I'm not interested in seeing this one instead, as they are touring with Motley Crue, & I was really looking forward to seeing them with Cheap Trick last March!
It would be cool to see Aerosmith again, but I don't think I could sit thru an entire opening set with Motley Crue.
I think I'll just wait this one out & see if I can find something better this year!
