Keystone’s suit claims that AEROSMITH breached its contract with the concert promoter by failing to reschedule the 2009 dates, further alleging that the company is out expenses incurred for promoting and producing the canceled gigs.

Amidst continuing reports of other singers being approached to front Aerosmith, Steven Tyler and his handlers are taking steps to reassert his position in the band.
Tyler’s Los Angeles-based attorney, Skip Miller, fired off a letter to Aerosmith manager Howard Kaufman last week, independently obtained by Billboard.com, requesting that Aerosmith’s management “immediately cease and desist from engaging in acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members.” Miller subsequently told Billboard.com that on behalf of Tyler he’s called a meeting of Aerosmith’s “shareholders” on Feb. 9 to discuss the band’s future, including recording a new album and touring this year of Europe and South America. The four-page letter also states that “we reserve all of our legal rights and remedies in this matter, including, without limitation, pursuing legal action for damages and other appropriate relief.”
“Steven Tyler does not want lawsuits,” said Miller. “We do not want to go in that direction. The direction we want is Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler, touring in Europe, touring Latin America, releasing a new album…This is the direction it’s all intended to go. It’s just amazing to me current management would be taking any other position.”

Is Aerosmith taking a Permanent Vacation?
Steven Tyler told a United Kingdom magazine he plans on pursuing solo projects for the foreseeable future, and his bandmates are talking openly of replacing their longtime lead singer.
“I don’t know what I’m doing yet,” Tyler told Classic Rock magazine, “but it’s definitely going to be something Steven Tyler, working on the brand of myself. Brand Tyler,” he said.
Meanwhile, his bandmates – who have told Tyler they don’t plan to work with him again until he straightens up and sobers up – plan to reconvene after doing shows in Hawaii and Dubai and discuss the future of the 40-year-old rock ’n’ roll institution.

Aerosmith over? Dream on.
The globetrotting Boston bad boys are scheduled to be back in the saddle Oct. 18 and 20 in Maui, Hawaii, and on Nov. 1 at a Formula One race event in Abu Dhabi.
Last week, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry fueled speculation of a breakup after telling The Associated Press of his frustrations with singer Steven Tyler, who forced the band to cancel summer tour dates after injuring himself in a fall from the stage on Aug. 5 in Sturgis, S.D.
Yesterday Perry said that while it is true he and Tyler haven’t spoken in weeks, rumors of the band’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
“We’re getting our visas together and the papers drawn up and everything,” Perry said. “So as far as I’m concerned we’re doing these dates.”
