LOS ANGELES - Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler will undergo surgery this week for an undisclosed medical condition, forcing the band to cancel the remaining dates of its North American tour.


The band's publicist, Marcee Rondan, said Tuesday that Tyler was "doing fine" but declined to elaborate on his condition.

"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," Rondan said in a statement.

Tyler, who turns 58 on Sunday, can't perform for an extended period of time, Rondan said, adding the band was on hiatus.

Aerosmith canceled recent concerts in Manchester, N.H., Pensacola, Fla., and Lexington, Ky., because of illness, though the tour press director did not disclose who was sick or the nature of the illness.

undisclosed? that's never a good sign. I hope he recovers and all is well.

From what I understand, he needs some work done on his vocal cords. And he needs about three months to recover from this.

Well, with the way he sings, I'm not surprised at this news. Hope he gets well soon.

This reminds me of back in 2004 when Fleetwood Mac had to cancel or rearrange those dates in late May/early June. I remember there was some talk of canceling the remaining tour dates for a few days there.

I think Stevie had a vocal cord surgury too like somewhere in between Mirage and wild heart or am I going nuts?
