Canadian Leg of Aerosmith Tour Postponed as Mia Tyler Confirms Dad's Recovering from Broken Shoulder

It appears Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry's apprehensive comments have proven to be a much more reliable yardstick than the assurances from promoters that the Canadian leg of the band's tour would proceed as scheduled. Perry told a Chicago radio station on Friday that the future of the tour was up in the air.

"We still don't know if we're going to keep the tour up or what. It's breaking my heart," Perry said.

Ticketmaster has now listed the entire Canadian leg of Aerosmith's tour as officially postponed with the exception of a September 3 date in Toronto, ON. Postponed dates include Winnipeg, MB Fri 08/07, Regina Sun 08/09, Edmonton, AB Tue, 08/11, Calgary, AB Thu, 08/13, Vancouver, BC Sat, 08/15/09. None of the postponed dates have been rescheduled.

No word yet on the remaining US dates.

Originally, the promoters said Tyler was only shaken up and just needed a few stitches. The tour was expected to go on as scheduled. But tour news has been changing constantly as more dates are postponed. The singer's injuries have proven far more serious than initial reports suggested and it appears he may be out for a considerable time.

Steve Tyler's daughter Mia has made a statement to TMZ.com, confirming that her dad has broken his shoulder but assures fans he'll be back in action.

The Rush Hour 3 actress told TMZ.com, "The demon of screamin' is not dead. Yes, it's true my dad walked the wrong way and landed on his head. He broke his left shoulder and had to get a few stitches on his noggin.

"He is now at home resting and will be back on his feet just as soon as he can to rock the world once more."

Tyler stumbled backwards while dancing on the stage catwalk at a concert on Wed (08/05), and fell several feet into the crowd. Tyler had been entertaining the crowd at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in SD while awaiting the repair of a blown fuse.

But guitarist Joe Perry has hinted the band may not be "Back In The Saddle" anytime soon. After the accident, he immediately began giving interviews to plug his latest solo project and has been working on new music. Perry said he did not know what would happen with the remaining 18 dates of the tour since Steve could be out of action anywhere from 4 weeks to 2 months - maybe longer.

It may well be that the remainder of the current tour could be cancelled to allow Tyler time to recover.
