DRAW THE LINE: Aerosmith retires from touring, citing permanent damage to Steven Tyler’s voice last year.

Aerosmith says Steven Tyler’s voice has been permanently damaged by a vocal cord injury last year and the band will no longer tour.

The iconic band behind hits like “Love in an Elevator” and “Livin’ on the Edge” posted a statement Friday announcing the cancellation of remaining dates on its tour and provided an update on Tyler’s voice.

“He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible,” the statement said. “We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision — as a band of brothers — to retire from the touring stage.”

Tyler announced he injured his vocal cords in September during a show on its Peace Out: The Farewell Tour. Tyler said in an Instagram statement at the time that the injury caused bleeding but that he hoped the band would be back after postponing a few shows.

Hopefully the band can continue in the studio. Very worst case scenario, last year, it was reported that British singer Sam Brown, whose vocal chords were damaged in 2007, used the pitch correction software Melodyne so that she could sing again in the studio. Between resting his voice by not touring, pitch correction software and/or the latest advancements in vocal AI, perhaps Tyler can at least still make records.
