I saw this article and got confused, thinking, wait, it’s not April Fools Day.

I know, I know, Aerosmith is a great American rock band, but to me, in all honesty, Steven Tyler makes the band. With them sort of… out of the scene for a while (when was their last CD released?), I guess in part because of Steven Tyler’s injury, losing the iconic frontman confuses me.

Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford acknowledges that Tyler leaving the band might not look great, and that a potential successor would have enormous shoes to fill, so hopefully the original Aerosmith stays intact.
