South Florida Dates for Aerosmith Still a Go!
















Although Aerosmith postponed two shows on its current tour due to an unspecified injury incurred by frontman Steven Tyler, all of the South Florida dates (including the Monday July 13, 2009 stop at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida) will go on as scheduled.

Regarding Steven Tyler's injury... according to Reuters, fans reported that Tyler seemed to pull a leg muscle at the group's June 29, 2009 stop in Connecticut.

The veteran band is next scheduled to perform on Saturday July 11, 2009 in Tampa, Florida, where they are expected to be rejoined by guitarist Brad Whitford. The 57-year-old Whitford has sat out the first few weeks of the group's summer tour while recovering from surgery for internal bleeding after hitting his head. Joe Perry told The Pulse that Whitford's recovery has gone smoothly. "He's doing really well," he said."He's been feeling good for a while. The only reason he hasn't come back is his doctors are just telling him, 'Just take it easy, relax, you don't want any relapses.' But he's doing well. Can't wait to get him back, though Bobby (Schneck), his guitar tech, has been filling in really well and doing a good job."

Aerosmith & ZZ Top are set to play the Bank Atlantic Center (in Sunrise, Florida) on Monday July 13, 2009.
