Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades," the statement reads. "Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock 'n' roll history. It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private, you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives."

Unfortunately, lead singer Steven Tyler continuously struggles in his road to recovering his voice. They tirelessly work together to get the power singer back to full strength.

As you know, Steven's voice is an instrument like no other," it reads. "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. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision... to retire from the touring stage."

Now, fans of Aerosmith find themselves sifting through all of their memories with the band. For instance, take one reply shares how the band's music was always there for them.

Additionally, another person tackles the mortality of these artists and how fast time ticks past us all. "Just a few years ago, you could see Aerosmith, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on the road. Now, all gone," they mourn.
