Guns n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum said Steven Tyler won't be on the tour again despite singing at a recent charity concert.
“It was a really big moment for him because he hurt so badly,” Solm said at the Johnny Grammy Awards Viewing Party, which benefits his charity fund after injuring his larynx last year. He recently spoke to WBAB Radio about his Jam Johnny Grammy Award performance.
“Is he going to tour again now? No, he's not. I'll explain this to people. Stephen said, it's a lot of pressure and you wouldn't if you weren't a singer. So you can't put yourself in the harshness of a full global tour. “I understand what he's going through, but he's 77 years old and he's a perfectionist. And if he doesn't sing properly, it bothers him.”

“You know, Stephen's voice is an unparalleled instrument. He is very enthusiastic about speaking up to the spot before his injury,” the statement read. “We have seen him struggle despite having the best medical team by his side.
“Sadly, it is clear that a full recovery from his voice injury is impossible. We, as a brother band, are heartbreaking, difficult, yet necessary, to retire from the touring stage. I've made a decision.”
“Is he going to tour again now? No, he's not. I'll explain this to people. Stephen said, it's a lot of pressure and you wouldn't if you weren't a singer. So you can't put yourself in the harshness of a full global tour: “I understand what he's going through, but he's 77 years old and he's a perfectionist. Yes, if he doesn't sing properly, it bothers him.”
Solm added that Tyler is willing to pre-record his voice as other artists do.
