We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision — as a band of brothers — to retire from the touring stage. We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time."
Joe Perry, the band's celebrated guitarist, briefly remarked on the retirement decision with a simple acknowledgment of its timing: "I think it's about time." Thedecision underscores a poignant farewell to a chapter that has deeply resonated with rock music lovers worldwide.
