Aerosmith Continues Tour Despite Frontman's Untimely Demise

Fans Reportedly Sickened

In the wake of last Saturday's tragic events, Aerosmith has vowed to continue on with their 65-city U.S. tour, making stops in Buffalo and New Haven this week.  Lead guitarist Joe Perry stated, "We know this is what Steven would have wanted for us to do.  Continue the tour, man, the show must go on.  That's what Steven would have said."

No other band mates could be reached for comment.

A number of fans, apparently confused by the continuation in Aerosmith's tour schedule, believed that the reports of Tyler's passing were a hoax, and showed up as usual, expecting a traditional concert.  One fan, who chose not to have his identity revealed was quoted saying, "I can hold my own, but lots of folks out here brung their families to this deal.  Some of them got sick on the floor.  What we got was a [expletive] mason jar stuffed with a [expletive] pickle!"

Despite it all, sound engineers have been forced to scramble and come up with creative solutions to the lack of vocals during live performances.  Joe Perry has enlisted the use of a talk box as an attempt to mimic the screeching squeals at the end of "Dude Looks Like a Lady," and other times, the band has simply allowed the original recorded songs to be played over the loudspeakers while cardboard cut-outs of themselves remain on stage.



"It is not known at this point whether the band will continue to tour in the future," said tour manager Gary English.  "What we do know is that we've got 48 cities to go, and we're going to have a lot of pissed off ticket holders if these boys don't deliver one hell of a show every night!"
