Aerosmith announced back in March 2022 that Joey Kramer won’t join the band as they relaunched their Las Vegas residency in June 2022.

The band revealed that Kramer had made the decision so that he could focus on his family and that they still expected Joey to join them in their future performances. John Douglas was said to have replaced Joey as the drummer.


However, the tour dates were canceled when lead singer Steven Tyler had to undergo treatment following a relapse after surgery. The band issued a statement on Instagram, which stated:

“As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years. After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery.”

The band also mentioned that they would cancel the first set of Las Vegas Residency dates and continue from September.
